Advantage North
On Thursday 3 April 2025 in Toronto, Northern Policy Institute will host its annual State of the North Fundraiser. The event is presented by PearTree Canada. PearTree provides one financing platform that enables global investment in Canadian resource exploration, while simultaneously funding increased philanthropy.
Over 200 senior private and public sector leaders will join the Institute to hear this year's featured speaker, Al McDonald.
Al McDonald moved to North Bay from Goose Bay, Labrador when he was 16. His dad was a CF 101 pilot. Al himself is a serial entrepreneur, three term Mayor, MPP, Citizen of the Year, twice Newsmaker of the Year – he is a North Bay success story who started with just 100 dollars in his pocket and turned that into 7 successful start-ups.
Al is a proud promoter of North Bay and Northern Ontario. He will be exploring Northern Ontario's Advantage – affordable housing, good jobs, quality education, solid health care, expanding transportation, and reliable infrastructure – a competitive blend of a great quality of life and an affordable cost of living.
