The Nord-Aski Regional Economic Development Corporation, a Community Futures Development Corporation, was incorporated in 1992. Nord-Aski is a combination of the French word 'Nord' which means North and the word 'Aski' which means Land in Oji-cree. 

Our main focus is assisting northern and rural communities to strengthen and diversify their local economies by creating new jobs and maintaining existing employment levels.

Nord-Aski REDC, as an economic development entity, plays a vital role in promoting economic growth in four Northeastern Ontario municipalities along Highways 11 and 631. The communities we service are: Constance Lake First Nation, the Town of Hearst, the Township of Hornepayne, the Municipality of Mattice-Val Côté and the Unincorporated Territories.  The region covers approximately 25,900 square kilometers.  

Our Mission
