In November 2021, TTN purchased Bussière Quality Smoked Meats; a business serving Northern Ontario for over 35 years. This is the first business that TTN solely owns and was purchased in order to diversify TTN’s economic investment portfolio away from solely investing in the natural resource sector.

There are currently 17 full-time employees. The butcher shop and store are projected to create $7M in revenue this year, with $2M invested back into TTN.

Island Falls Forestry is owned by TTN and has been operating since 1998. It is currently under a 20 year harvesting agreement with GreenFirst Forest Products, which is reviewed every five years.

Island Falls Forestry currently generates approximately 400,000 – 700,000M3 of lumber annually. This creates approximately $11M in annual revenues with 10% of these revenues coming to the community. Each year, approximately 300 jobs in Northern Ontario are additionally created to build almost 250km of winter roads. 5-10 TTN members are employed by Island Falls Forestry year-round.

In March 2017, OPG and partner Coral Rapids Power, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TTN, completed the Peter Sutherland Sr. Generating Station, a source of two new units of clean, reliable, electricity activity. Located at New Post Creek, about 75 km north of Smooth Rock Falls, the station lies within the traditional territory of TTN who remain equity partners in the station. This project was intended to be a pilot with OPG, however based on its success, about a dozen Indigenous partnerships have now been established following similar parameters.

The station has two units that generate 28MW of renewable, low-cost electricity – enough to power about 28,000 homes. It has generated a $300M investment in Northern Ontario with 33% of revenues coming into the community (approx. $1M annually). 49 TTN members are employed in this project.
