Ontario-made innovation has just secured another win in the global defence and aerospace sectors!
Through a new investment partnership with Lockheed Martin, Burlington’s PV Labs will support the production of a next-generation Pilot Night Vision Sensor featured on the Apache helicopter.
We congratulate the PV Labs team on this latest milestone, and look forward to seeing this project further enhance Ontario’s industrial leadership in this critical space.

Chief Daryl Longworth was honoured to receive the 22 Wing Commander during North Bay’s Freedom of the City ceremony.

For over 70 years, 22 Wing has served as a testament to the enduring bond between North Bay and the Canadian Armed Forces.
We extend a heartfelt congratulations to all those recognized by the Freedom of the City honour today, and are grateful to see our community’s legacy of sacrifice as well as the service of our veterans, military members, and civilian employees celebrated in this way.

As President Trump threatens Canadian jobs, Ontario is protecting our workers.
With $41 million to train more apprentices and a $2.5 billion commitment to skills training, we’re opening doors to good-paying careers and building a workforce that can compete with anyone, anywhere.

Check out the latest footage from Webequie First Nation, where construction of a new bridge that will serve as a vital link for the roads to the Ring of Fire is now nearly complete.
This road network will connect First Nations to better services and economic opportunities and unlock the incredible economic potential of the Ring of Fire’s critical minerals.

Ce fut un plaisir de visiter le @collegeboreal à Sudbury et de découvrir ses laboratoires des sciences de la santé!
Merci au président Daniel Giroux et à son équipe pour leur accueil chaleureux!
J’ai également eu le plaisir de rencontrer Lynne Dupuis et Nicole Blais, bénéficiaires du Programme d’appui à la francophonie ontarienne, et d’en apprendre davantage sur leur travail auprès des communautés francophones de l’Ontario!

On the heels of yesterday's roundtable with the 15+ Ontario companies representing the province at DEFSEC, we had the opportunity to stop by their booths on the conference show floor.
It was great to learn more about their operations, and how their defence innovations and capabilities will bolster our broader supply chain and sector.

Pleased to join Laurentian University’s Minerals and Mining Strategic Plan Implementation Forum today in Sudbury to bring together government, industry, researchers and educators.
Ontario’s mining sector already supports 150,000 direct and indirect jobs and contributes $14.4 billion to provincial GDP annually. We are building on that strength by unlocking opportunities like the Ring of Fire, which could create more than 70,000 jobs and add $22 billion to Ontario’s economy. ⛏️🇨🇦
