Entitled "Building Experiences and Partnerships: A Northern Perspective," the event is done in partnership with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The three-day event will feature a series of presentations pertaining to the North, including the management of Ontario's forests, update on regional mining activity and recent successes by the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.
A panel discussion will highlight green energy experiences in the northeast, with a quartet of provincial ministers expected at the Ministers' Forum on the final day.
