Municipalities in Northwestern Ontario require crown land for development. Many communities such as Red Lake, Ontario remain “land locked” and are unable to develop because of a lack of available land. Within the Red Lake area, the municipality has only 3% of the available vacant land within it boundaries. In order to assist with housing etc. the province needs to work with small and rural communities to obtain crown land within its municipal boundaries to provide future and needed housing developments.
