Building the economy
We are building the economy of the future to benefit you today. We’re making local investments in electric vehicles, tech, life sciences, food and manufacturing to create jobs and help build the economy in communities across Ontario. Over 800,000 more people are working today than in 2018.
These investments will help companies expand operations and place Ontario — and companies throughout the province — in a competitive global position.
Unlocking critical minerals and the Ring of Fire
We’re unlocking the economic potential of the Ring of Fire and Ontario’s abundant supply of the critical minerals in the North to produce batteries for electric vehicles.
Training Ontario’s skilled workforce
We’re investing more than $1.5 billion to train the skilled workforce needed to build Ontario’s economy. Training for the skilled trades gives you access to thousands of well-paying jobs and an in-demand career for life.
Made-in-Ontario electric vehicles and batteries
We’re connecting mines and minerals from the North with automotive and electric vehicle battery manufacturing in Southern Ontario so that communities across the province benefit. Ontario has attracted $44 billion in new investments from global automakers, parts suppliers, and manufacturers of EV batteries and battery materials.
