  5. NADF Business Financing Program maximum corrected to $249,999

    We published a $250,000 maximum for community-owned businesses. NADF's own page states $249,999. Found when an automated check discovered our source URL had gone dead: NADF rebuilt their website and the old page 404s. Corrected, and the citation now points at the live page. source

  6. Corrected: FedNor's service area includes Muskoka

    An earlier revision of the regions data showed Muskoka outside FedNor's Northern Ontario. That was backwards: FedNor's designated service area has included Muskoka for many years (12 census divisions), while NOHFC restored Muskoka in January 2025, reversing a 2004 provincial removal. The boundary table and FedNor records now carry the corrected direction. source
