For over a century, @sanofi has grown into one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, and Ontario has been a proud partner in their story.
This afternoon, we reconnected at their headquarters in Paris to receive an update on their upcoming projects and ongoing work at their Toronto AI Centre of Excellence.
Sanofi’s investments have played a critical role in safeguarding our domestic supply of vaccines and strengthening the self-reliance of Ontario’s vibrant life sciences ecosystem.
Yesterday, it was my honour to attend the observance at the Sanofi Campus in advance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This event was an important reminder that we all have a role in recognizing the past and supporting healing into the future.
Thrilled to join Sanofi Canada for the opening of the largest biopharmaceutical vaccine manufacturing facility in the country.
Our government is working with our many life sciences partners to continue to build Ontario as a global leader in biomanufacturing.
This morning, I was very pleased to attend the grand opening of @SanofiCanada’s new $800 million manufacturing facility in Toronto.
We’re proud to support this massive new facility, which will help support 200 good-paying jobs and significantly increase the number of life-saving vaccines produced right here in Ontario.

Did you know that Insulin was discovered in Toronto in 1921 by Frederick Banting and Charles Best?
Without Insulin, millions living with diabetes would be denied a quality life. To this day, Toronto continues to be a world leader in pharmaceutical research and manufacturing, thanks to companies like @sanofi for their incredible contributions to the medical field.
