A northern Ontario gold mine project is expected to create more than 1,000 construction jobs. Work on the site is expected to begin later this year, with the facility operational by 2023.

Eight Ontario municipalities will share in more than $360,000 in funding from the federal government to augment their infrastructure asset-management practices.

Construction work in Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island resumed during the month. This fact helped put investment levels back on the path to near pre-pandemic levels.

A $500-million plan will see significant renovations to such facilities as FirstOntario Centre, FirstOntario Concert Hall and the Hamilton Convention Centre

The project will clear a troublesome bottleneck along Highway 6 in the village of Morriston, and is part of the $2.6 billion the province has in place to expand and renovate highways and bridges.
