Economic Development Overview

Métis Nation of Ontario Economic Development (MNOED) initiative was established to assist Métis communities across the province in developing economic self-sufficiency.

Aboriginal Business Service Network

The Aboriginal Business Service Network (ABSN) was implemented to help bridge the gap between business information and resources for the Aboriginal client. The ABSN provides timely relevant business information to Aboriginal clients who access the site via the Internet, telephone, fax or walk-in.

The Aboriginal Business Service Network is sponsored by the Canada Ontario Business Service Centre (COBSC) and the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario (FedNor).

ABSN Services:

• Information or guidance concerning business planning and operations by qualified coordinators/advisors;
• On-line access to information and data services provided by the COBSC;
• Access to a comprehensive library of business publications, resources and directories
