Northwestern Ontario spoke loud and clear, and our government delivered.

My thoughts are with everybody who has been affected by the terrible incident that took place at CFB Wainwright in Alberta last night, including members of our armed forces and the heroic first responders on the scene.
As Canadians, let’s come together to support our brave men and women in uniform, who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and our country. Ontario stands ready to help the recovery efforts however we can.
This is what collaboration looks like—working together to build consensus the right way and deliver meaningful results for the people of Northwestern Ontario.
Meaningful reconciliation is rooted in partnerships and the empowerment of Indigenous youth and communities.
Ontario’s $5.2 million investment in Indigenous-led sport, recreation and cultural programs will create more opportunities for Indigenous youth to build confidence, grow as leaders, strengthen cultural connections and thrive in their communities, now and well into the future.

We heard loud and clear from Northwestern Ontario, and working together with First Nations leadership, municipalities and regional partners, delivered a move to permanent daylight saving time for our region.
We’re using every tool at our disposal to protect Ontario jobs in the face of U.S. tariffs.
Through our Buy Ontario policy, we’re leveraging $30 billion in annual purchasing power to prioritize Ontario businesses, keep more money in our economy and support good-paying jobs right here at home.

As President Trump threatens Ontario jobs, Doug Ford and our Ontario PC team are fighting back.
We're investing $2.5 billion in skills training to help workers land good-paying jobs, strengthen our economy and protect Ontario's future.

Our government is committed to providing greater certainty for families, businesses and communities across #NorthwesternOntario.
See why local and Indigenous leaders are welcoming permanent daylight saving time as a positive step forward for the region.
The Royal Canadian Legion, Major Hughes Branch 54 has been a cornerstone of the Rainy River community for close to a hundred years, bringing people together, supporting our veterans and providing a place for residents to connect.
With $180,000, through the NOHFC, we are modernizing the Legion hall and supporting vital facility upgrades to ensure it remains a welcoming, accessible and vibrant community hub for generations to come.

Ontario to move northwest regions to permanent daylight time

“Our engagement was robust, everybody had a chance to chime in on where this should go, and the results were crystal clear: not one poll, formal or informal, went under 90 per cent in favour of going along with Manitoba’s decision and sticking with daylight savings time permanently.”

Grand Council Treaty #3 welcomes the Government of Ontario’s announcement to move Northwestern Ontario to permanent Daylight Saving Time, effective November 1, 2026, aligning with Manitoba’s decision to discontinue seasonal clock changes.

Maintaining alignment with Manitoba would support cross-border business and help simplify healthcare appointments and travel.
Thank you to my colleague @GregRickford for his leadership in building strong consensus with Indigenous and local leaders.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Today, we give thanks for the family, friends, and communities that make Ontario such a wonderful place to call home.
Wishing everyone across the province a safe, happy, and memorable Thanksgiving with loved ones!
Celebrating the grand opening of the Rainy River K–12 School, a testament to the shared vision, dedicated leadership and close collaboration of educators, partners and community members who worked together to make this milestone a reality.
Our government has been proud to support this project with $30.2 million in funding to deliver 311 new student spaces, a licensed childcare centre, specialized learning areas and cultural hubs in a modern school that brings new opportunities for students to learn, grow and succeed while ensuring families can continue to build a bright future, right here in Northwestern Ontario.
Congratulations to everyone whose dedication and collaboration helped bring this vision to life.

Protecting Ontario means building the infrastructure that puts our workers, resources and industries at the centre of a stronger, more resilient economy.
As President Trump’s economic attacks continue, we’re working with First Nations to accelerate the roads to the Ring of Fire. In turn, connecting communities, unlocking critical minerals and laying the foundation for generations of good-paying jobs.
This is nation-building infrastructure that will help Ontario compete and build more here at home.
