Ontario is seeking public input on rail, road, air and marine travel in Northern Ontario, to develop a multimodal transportation strategy for the next 25 years.

According to the release, Ontario is meeting with industry, stakeholders, communities and Indigenous peoples across Northern Ontario through public information sessions in October and November 2016.

They’ll be in Sudbury on October 26th before coming to Timmins on Thursday, October 27th.

The in-person session will take place at the Days Inn from 4-8pm.

Other sessions are pegged for Thunder Bay, Kenora, North Bay and Sault Ste. Marie in November.

There will be additional opportunities for the public to provide input before the strategy is finalized by the end of 2017.

People can also participate by reading and providing feedback on the discussion paper that will be available online later this month; submitting ideas on Twitter and tagging @OnMinTransport and #NorthONtransport; emailing the ministry; or leaving a comment online.
