ChamberCommerce

By Stew Kernan

An overall global downturn including a drop in commodity prices is putting the pressure on the mining industry.

Witt that in mind, both the Ontario and Sudbury Chambers of Commerce released a report this week called “Digging Deeper” which makes nine recommendations to the provincial and federal governments to make sure Ontario is positioned for success in the future.

Two of the report’s main recommendations are…increasing investment in northern infrastructure as well as more resources for mining research and innovation.

Chair of the local Chamber Karen Hourtovenko says it’s important to be proactive and act now.

She adds that Sudbury needs to take a lead role in coming up with solutions.
