Huge news for Barrie.

@TorontoFCII is coming to our city, along with a new downtown soccer-specific stadium that will inspire the next generation of athletes and bring even more excitement to our growing community.

Congratulations to everyone involved! ⚽🏟️

Celebrating 100 years of the Royal Canadian Legion with a flag-raising ceremony in #Barrie.

Legions across Ontario & 🇨🇦 play an important role standing alongside veterans and strengthening communities.

Thank you to all Legion members and veterans for your service.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Great to celebrate the 110th anniversary of CFB Borden with a flag raising ceremony.

Founded during the First World War and located in #SimcoeCounty, CFB Borden is the largest training base in @CanadianForces.

Thank you to all those who serve and protect our country. 🇨🇦

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Great to sit down and catch up with Randy Greenlaw, Mayor of #OroMedonte.

We had a productive conversation about the opportunities & priorities that matter most to local residents, and how we can continue working together to build solutions & deliver results for our communities.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Great to join @JohnMuskoka in #Barrie to celebrate $93,000 in funding through @ONTrillium.

This grant will help keep communities safe by supporting the BRICKS program, aimed at strengthening community capacity through prevention, intervention & reintegration strategies.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Proud to recently welcome Newfoundland and Labrador Minister Conway Ottenheimer and Chief Judge Fowler to Ontario and discuss our shared commitment to increasing access to justice.

Great opportunity to share notes and highlight Ontario’s world-class justice centre model.

Ontario is investing over $90M to support shipbuilding capacity.

This investment will:
☑️Reinforce Canada’s National Shipbuilding Strategy
☑️Boost the economic competitiveness of Ontario’s shipbuilding & its supply chain while creating thousands of jobs across the marine sector

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Ontario’s shipbuilding industry is ready and willing to do its part as the federal government steps up its commitment to national defence and security.

Today, I was in St. Catharines to deliver a $90 million investment that will position Ontario shipbuilders to build the next generation of ships for our navy and coast guard, creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs for workers across the province.

I’m very sad to hear of the passing of J. David Wake, who spent decades serving the people of Ontario as a lawyer, judge and as the province’s integrity commissioner. I want to extend my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Please read my statement on the passing of former Integrity Commissioner J. David Wake.

[Stephen Lecce @Sflecce]

Energy independence starts with building more here at home — more pipelines and refineries built by and for Canadians.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Please read my statement and congratulations on the appointment of the Honourable Patrick J. Boucher as Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario.

Today, Ontario and Alberta have unveiled the proposed Northern Shield Energy Corridor that will move Alberta oil and gas to #Ontario.

This nation-building project will create thousands of jobs, strengthen our economy and help build Canada into an energy superpower.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Today in Calgary, Premier @ABDanielleSmith and I unveiled the proposed route of the Northern Shield Energy Corridor.

This new pipeline, built with Canadian steel, would bring Alberta oil to Ontario refineries along a Canadian route, supporting good-paying jobs, protecting Canadian sovereignty and security, and building a more united Canadian economy.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Listening to cultural communities across the region.

It was great to join @BramptonGraham, @Andrea_Khanjin & @NigussieAdamu in #Barrie for a meaningful discussion with cultural communities about how we can continue supporting them and strengthening diversity across the region.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Today, we celebrate our proud history, the freedoms we cherish, the opportunities we enjoy, and the shared values that make Canada the greatest country in the world.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy #CanadaDay.

[Graham McGregor @BramptonGraham]

As we celebrate Canada Day, I was proud to join Minister @douglasdowney and Minister @Andrea_Khanjin at Legion Branch 147 to announce that our government is providing full liquor sales licence fee rebates to branches applying for or renewing their licences.

These rebates will save branches across Ontario more than $250K over 5 years, so they can direct more resources toward supporting veterans and other community initiatives.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

These rebates will save branches ~$250K over 5 years & help free up resources that can go towards local initiatives.

With #CanadaDay🇨🇦 around the corner, our government will continue standing with Ontario’s veterans & the legions that have served our communities for generations.

[Doug Downey @douglasdowney]

Legions are a cornerstone of communities across Ontario.

Today, alongside @BramptonGraham & @Andrea_Khanjin, I was proud to announce at @RoyalCdnLegion Branch 147 that, starting next month, #Ontario is providing liquor sales licence fee rebates for ~400 eligible legion branches.
