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

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

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.

Much of the funding will be aimed at its distribution centres, but 150 stores will also be renovated with new technologies.
