A project to deliver Anishinabek Nation-led education is receiving a $20 million investment from Ottawa to support educational infrastructure and governance.

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree made the announcement with Grand Council of the Anishinabek Nation Chief Linda Debassige at an event in North Bay, Ontario, Friday afternoon.

The funding will be paid to the Kinoomaadziwin educational organization. This is the result of a new financial policy, developed jointly with First Nations partners, to ensure self-government in education in these communities. This fiscal policy was implemented for the first time in 2019.
