Fellow Northerner,

This significant milestone allows us to reflect on the positive achievements and encourages us to pursue greater opportunities. With an eye to the future, I am pleased to provide you with information on our new NOHFC programs.
Our new programs, better aligned with the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario, increase the competitiveness of business and industry, enhance innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities, and support labour markets with economic and employment opportunities. Through the Strategic Economic Infrastructure Program, we will support efficient and modern infrastructure necessary to achieve economic development objectives in northern communities. To promote, attract and support economic growth, the Northern Community Capacity Building Program will provide assistance for Northern communities to build regional partnerships and economic development capacity and stage regional economic development events.
Our new programs focus on encouraging businesses, technology innovators and young entrepreneurs to choose the North as the setting for making their aspirations become a reality. The Northern Innovation Program fosters collaboration and partnerships among the private sector, academic institutions and research institutes to drive the development and commercialization of new technologies. The Northern Ontario Business Opportunity Program provides support to new and expanding businesses within Northern Ontario. It encourages private sector interests from across the globe to expand their businesses to Northern Ontario while continuing to attract film and television projects to the North. Finally, the Northern Ontario Internship Program will attract and retain graduates in the North by partnering with private sector, public sector and not-for-profit organizations to provide training and work experience.

MENTAL HEALTH/ADDICTION & COMMUNICATION SERVICES Ryan Peters
MENTAL HEALTH & ADDICTION
SPOTLIGHT
Dual Diagnosis in Ontario refers to people who have both a developmental disability and a mental health need. Experts believe as many as 50 per cent of children with developmental disabilities may also have mental health issues, but the second condition often goes undiagnosed and untreated.
Lynne Marwick is a trail blazing clinician in the field of Dual Diagnosis. Her involvement at the local, provincial, and national level continues to illustrate her dedication and passion for her work. Lynne’s commitment does not go unnoticed, and her nomination for the prestigious National Association of Dually Diagnosed (NADD) recognition award for Ontario proves that. Patti Turcotte, coordinator of the Northeastern Ontario Dual Diagnosis program, was pleased to put forward Lynne’s nomination. Recently the winner of this award was announced and Lynne was not only the recipient of it, but was the first ever Northern Ontario clinician to receive it. Lynne credits and shares this award with community members and the leading edge community based service program that she works in.
In the words of the NADD President, who quoted a portion of Lynne’s nomination package:
“Lynne’s passion for improvements at the individual and system levels, respectful and innovative approaches to partnership across systems and circumstances, and willingness to share her learning at many different venues, have contributed immensely to the quality of life of those in the Timiskaming District, the Northeast region, and also through her presentations both nationally and internationally”

October Library Report
We received $4212.00 from the Capacity Building Grant to be used for collections/technology upgrades.
The new roof was discussed at length Sharon is to get a building inspector to see how badly a new roof is needed. Can we wait until spring? We decided to go with the quote from R&B for $15,543.04 when needed. Sharon was to check with R&B to see how long the quote was good for. Could we wait & apply for another grant, possibly from the Heritage Fund or Trillium in the spring.
Next was the insurance. Sharon is still trying to get answers to this problem. It looks now as if we’ll need to pay $4204.00 for the insurance needed.
Finance report for Oct. is $18,326.38 remaining.
