Ontario Invests $500,000 to Protect Sault Ste. Marie Workers from U.S. Tariffs
Ontario is investing $500,000 to help protect workers and strengthen the local economy in Sault Ste. Marie as the community faces ongoing impacts from U.S. tariffs.
Through the Trade-Impacted Communities Program, the provincial government is supporting the City of Sault Ste. Marie’s new Foreign Direct Investment Strategy — a targeted initiative focused on attracting new investment, expanding export markets, and reducing reliance on the U.S. market.
The strategy will build on Sault Ste. Marie’s strong industrial base while creating new opportunities in priority sectors such as advanced manufacturing, defence, aerospace, critical minerals processing, and domestic supply chain development. This investment is designed to protect good-paying local jobs today, while positioning the community for long-term growth and resilience.
