Our Funders

Thanks to Our Funders

To date we have been fortunate to have the support of the Missanabie Cree First Nation, INAC, and The Community Foundation of Canada. 

The Community Foundation of Canada provided funding for the Investment Readiness Program.

The Missanabie Cree First Nation has provided financial support and more with regards to this important project.

Although it was dissolved in 2017 and is currently Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) funding supported the development of our original Business Plan.

Thank you to our funders who helped make hiring CPCS (Transportation Consultants) possible in 2024, so that we could study and build financial projections for The Bear Train:

Destination Northern Ontario

Watco

Municipality of Wawa

Transport Action Canada

Coalition for Algoma Passenger Trains

Northeastern Ontario Rail Network

Sault Ste. Marie Community Futures Development Corporation

Superior Exploration, Adventures and Climbing Company

Several Individual Donors

At this time the Missanabie Cree First Nation is unable to provide tax receipts for donations; however, we are hoping to set up a funding stream for donations in the near future.
