Magnetawan Anishinabek Nation have completed the journey to establish NEW ESSO Gas Station/Store & Tm Horton’s
(Britt,ON)
 
Magnetawan Anishinabek Nation Chief & Council along with the participation of the citizens and staff, developed an Economic Development Plan. The first item in the plan was to take advantage of our location, adjacent to the very busy Hwy 69 corridor, situated along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay between Sudbury and Parry Sound. The plan identified a replacement of the gas station & store business, situated  at the south west corner of Hwy 69/529.
That was the easy part. As most communities situated along a busy corridor in Ontario, the idea of owning a Tim Horton’s restaurant and a major fuel supplier (ESSO) has been discussed for years, but, to actually pull it off and to achieve this on Anishinabek Nation land, well that was certainly an effort that brings pride and satisfaction to the Anishinabek Nation and the surrounding local municipalities.
