Ring of Fire Permanent Roads

Planned

The Ontario provincial government has committed CA$1 billion to build permanent roads in the Ring of Fire mining region to facilitate mining development. The federal government has been asked to contribute an additional CA$1 billion. These roads aim to replace the disappearing winter roads and support economic development, including mining of chromite, nickel, copper, platinum, gold, and zinc. The project is part of a broader plan to unlock mineral resources while addressing the challenges posed by climate change on winter roads.
