Ontario to build roads into Ring of Fire

Development of the chromite-rich Ring of Fire region in northern Ontario is one step closer after the premier announced Monday that agreements with First Nations are in place to start road construction in the area. The provincial government has been talking with the chiefs of the Matawa First Nations for years, since it pledged $1-billion in 2014 to fund infrastructure into the area about 500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ont.
