Winter Road Financing
Ontario's winter roads network connects remote First Nation communities to a permanent highway or railway system. From around mid-January until the spring thaw, winter roads make it easier to travel and help reduce transportation costs of inventory and supplies for First Nation communities and community-based organizations and businesses.
To remain competitive and reduce inventory and supply costs, remote First Nations and businesses must be proactive and be ready to begin moving goods at the onset of the winter road season At NADF, we provide financing to cash flow the purchase of these inventory and supplies.
