Province doles out dollars to four Timiskaming-Cochrane entrepreneurs

Four new small businesses run by young entrepreneurs in the Timiskaming-Cochrane region have seen a helping hand from the provincial government.

Those receiving funding through the program include:

-Frook's Custom Cabinet, a custom cabinet manufacturing business located in Kirkland Lake, catering to commercial and residential markets

-T.J. Fournier Construction, a Verner-based general contracting company focusing on commercial and residential foundation construction

-Ed's Firewood & Exterior Renovations, a firewood supplier providing tree removal and trimming services in the Timmins area
-Tanie's Tots, a licensed child daycare facility in Iroquois Falls
