Northern Ontario group calls for Highway 11 17 upgrade lifeline
Nearly 40 municipalities across Northern Ontario push federal and provincial leaders to treat the Highway 11 17 corridor as a national trade lifeline. NOMA and FONOM urge strategic investment from Ottawa and Toronto, citing safety gains from a 2 1 highway system and the route’s role in mining forestry and agriculture.

Coffee business empowers women from seed to sale in Thunder Bay
Thunder Bay entrepreneur Romy Marlo of Crush Coffee Co. partners with Urban Abbey to retrofit the Simpson Street space for a woman run roastery and cafe. The project, built entirely by women, aims to hire women from local transitional housing and purchase beans only from women owned collectives. Crush Coffee roasts and packages beans with no male hands touching them, underscoring the company mission to empower women from bean to cup. The venture aligns with a December funding push that supports 38 transitional housing units city wide and other housing projects.
