Good things grow in Ontario. And one of those things is job creation accompanied by support of existing jobs.
Here is the list of companies creating jobs:
- Pratt & Whitney Canada is creating 80 new jobs in Mississauga and investing in new technology, equipment and research and development. The company is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of gas turbine engines for the aerospace industry.
- Best Theratronics is creating 100 new jobs in Ottawa and improving existing product lines and developing new technologies. The company develops and manufactures medical equipment used to treat cancer and make blood supplies safer.
- Sungrow Canada is creating 50 new jobs and establishing Vaughan as its North American headquarters. The company manufactures equipment for the clean solar power industry.
- Kellogg Canada is creating 40 new jobs as it plans to add a new cereal production line in Belleville. This investment will make the plant among the most sophisticated in the company’s worldwide operations.
- Eagle Feather Air Inc. is creating up to five new jobs. As a new helicopter service, the company will provide more flights in the Sault Ste. Marie region and surrounding rural First Nation communities.
- More than 400 youth will gain valuable job experience to prepare for their future careers through internships and co-op placements across Northern Ontario.
The Ontario strategy for creating jobs is tax changes in Ontario: taxes on business investment were cut in half to make Ontario more competitive and encourage new business investments.
