Ontario Municipal Partnership Funding is on the rise in Nipissing.
Vic Fedeli, Nipissing MPP, announced $18.5 million is flowing to 11 communities in the riding.
That’s an increase of $2 million for 2025 with most of it going to the City of North Bay.
“This increase of more than $1.3 million over last year’s funding allocation is a welcome boost for North Bay, giving us the certainty we need to plan responsibly as we prepare for the 2025 budget process,” says Deputy Mayor Maggie Horsfield. “The Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund is crucial for ensuring we can continue to provide essential programs and services. We’re appreciative for the province’s commitment to North Bay.”
The increase was announced in this week’s Fall Economic Statement, with funding going up by $100 million across the province over the next two years.
“The Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund program primarily supports northern and rural municipalities and today’s additional investment will provide financial relief for Nipissing’s municipalities to support their priorities and specific needs,” says Fedeli.
