June 26, 2015 — North Bay, Ontario — Industry Canada/FedNor
MP Jay Aspin (Nipissing—Timiskaming), on behalf of the Honourable Greg Rickford, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario (FedNor), announced today an investment by the Harper Government to support jobs, growth and prosperity in Northern Ontario.
A FedNor investment of $871,089 will enable Canadore College to grow its Innovation Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Production (ICAMP). Specifically, the investment will be used to expand ICAMP and hire a project and outreach manager to support new and existing businesses. The funding will also be used to purchase and install state-of-the-art equipment such as a 3D metal printer, design simulation software and advanced productivity tools.
“The Harper Government is proud to invest in strategic initiatives that support manufacturers, boost innovation, and help build capacity within the private sector. By supporting ICAMP and collaborating with strong community partners like Canadore College, our Government is helping to create business opportunities, support jobs and build a strong, sustainable economic future for the people, businesses and communities of Northern Ontario.”
