The FDC Regional Economic Development Commission has announced the MMDF or Manitoba Mineral Development Fund has approved funding for the development of an Investment Attraction Toolkit. The Toolkit is expected to provide the Flin Flon region with the means to guide and facilitate investments that align with its vision and foster planned diversification. The project encompasses the formation of a strategic investment attraction portfolio along with substantiated investment cases, including an integrated online platform to attract and direct investments to the Flin Flon region. MMDF is committed to providing 98 thousand dollars toward implementing the project.

Flin Flon Mayor Cal Huntley notes our region is going through a transformative period, which is accompanied by unprecedented opportunities. As an example he says we see immense values in solidifying our region as a strategic hub servicing the communities in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan. He adds the funding from MMDF is timely in positioning us to ride on the momentum garnered to date and further advance our steps toward planned economic diversification.
