Over 3,000 new jobs slated for northwestern Ontario.

Thunder Bay’s Community Economic Development Commission (CEDC) says the city should take the mining industry seriously – and position itself to service 15 mines that could become operational over the next decade.

The CEDC released its mining readiness strategy, which included a presentation to city council on Monday night. The group said mineral extraction could create more than 3,000 new jobs by 2028.
