Killarney Mountain Lodge has been awarded a $400,000 grant from the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines to assist in job development at the newly renovated tourist destination.
This funding will be used to create five full-time and 10 seasonal jobs at the resort's recently completed Canada House conference centre.
The presentation was made at Killarney Mountain Lodge by parliamentary assistant Dave Smith, on behalf of Greg Rickford, Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines.
"We most definitely appreciate NOHFC in their commitment to assist in our vision of job creation and building a crown jewel (Canada House) in one of Canada's crown jewels - Killarney, Ontario," said Holden Rhodes, owner of Killarney Mountain Lodge.
"This will go a long way in establishing Killarney as one of the best tourism destinations in Canada.”
Canada House is considered to be the largest log-built conference facility in the world and can accommodate 400 people with two large conference rooms, 10 breakout rooms, a fitness facility, and two kitchens. Find more information on Canada House here.
The Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines is responsible for developing safe, reliable and affordable energy supply, overseeing the mineral sector and promoting northern economic and community development.
