The province's northern development fund is granting money to local six businesses. The six are sharing in over 200 thousand dollars of funding from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund. Dental Hygiene Smiles of Thunder Bay is receiving 125 thousand dollars of that to help it open a dental clinic. The rest will be split up among Kuhl Lighting, The Dog Classroom, Confederation College, Northwestern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce and a Chiropractic Clinic.
