The Wikwemikong Development Commission (WDC), located on the Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve, is getting $1 million from the Ontario government to build a new small business centre.

The WDC will build a 9,000-square-foot business centre on the First Nation, located on Manitoulin Island, which will accommodate six new businesses in the community. The WDC’s current facility is at capacity, and it’s thought the new building will help diversify the local economy and create new jobs.

The funding is being provided by the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corp.’s Infrastructure and community Development Program.
