IOFP Guarantee Catalyzes Saugeen Ojibway Nation $250 Million Investment in Bruce Power
Kincardine, ON â The Ontario government today announced a $250 million investment by Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) in Bruce Powerâs medical isotopes business. The transaction is supported by a provincial guarantee under the Indigenous Opportunities Financing Program (IOFP), administered by Building Ontario Fund.
The guarantee is one of the largest of its kind since the Indigenous loan guarantee program began in 2009. The investment by SON â which includes Chippewas of Saugeen First Nation and Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation â secures long-term economic participation in a partnership known as Gamzookâaamin aakoziwin, which translates to âwe are teaming up on the sickness.â
