We share resources and reach share our expertise with one another. That’s fundamental for any growing First Nation”. Morriseau said the community sees revenue brought in through resolute and helps with development. Morriseau wasn’t sure off and how much the company brings in yearly but called it substantial. Plans are already underway to expand the sawmill with the construction of a pellet plant. Mayor Hobbes echoed Mauro sediments but Resolute’s commitment to the area, calling the company” an awesome, awesome corporate citizen for thunder Bay”. He also spoke about the benefits of collaboration between cities like thunder Bay and first nations, referencing the work he’s done with former chief Peter Collins, and what he hopes to accomplish with Chief Morriseau. Morriseau pledged to continue to work with resolute and Thunder Bay to continue building for the future. “As the North becomes a hub of long-­‐term sustainable solutions, it is important that we all be on board to take advantage of these opportunities” she said.
