The MRC’s Warden, Jane Toller, mentioned that the Pontiac MRC will make sure to submit “more applications for funding that will have an even greater impact” during the next round of project submissions.
Mme Jane Toller said that “I believe that since 14 of the 21 approved projects affect the Pontiac, the entire region will benefit significantly. It is important that we collaborate with the other 4 RCMs in the region. In the next round we will ensure that the Pontiac will file more funding applications that will have even greater impact”.
