NORTHERN ONTARIO — The Ontario government is investing $13 million to build and maintain nearly 3,200 kilometres of winter roads.

These seasonal routes connect 32 remote Indigenous communities and the Town of Moosonee, serving approximately 24,000 people across the North, and it is the longest network of its kind in Canada.

Typically open for six to 11 weeks each year, from late January until the end of March, winter roads provide vital access to jobs, essential services, and family, while supporting the transport of goods such as food, medical supplies, and construction materials.
