The McGuinty government has established Northern
Development Councils (NDCs) to help bring a northern
perspective to provincial policies and programs. These
four advisory councils are composed of Northerners who
contribute their insights and experience on how
provincial policies and programs may impact Northern
Ontario.
NDCs are an important part of our Northern Prosperity
Plan. They contribute to stronger northern communities
by providing another way for northerners to work
productively with each other and with the province. By
promoting and enhancing collaboration, the NDCs will
help build a strong northern economy with an optimal
quality of life.
