Doug Ford and our Ontario PC team are delivering on our plan to unlock the Ring of Fire, create thousands of good-paying jobs and build a stronger, more competitive and self-reliant economy.
With construction now underway on all roads to the Ring of Fire, five years ahead of schedule, Ontario is taking a historic step toward unlocking one of the world’s most significant critical mineral deposits.
Working in partnership with First Nations, we’re building the infrastructure needed to connect northern communities, strengthen domestic supply chains and open new opportunities for economic growth.
Unlocking the Ring of Fire will:
- Create 70,000 good-paying jobs across the province.
- Add $22 billion to Ontario’s economy.
- Improve year-round access to essential goods, health care and community services.
- Support First Nation-led economic development and long-term prosperity.
- Secure the critical minerals needed for electric vehicles, batteries, defence technologies and advanced manufacturing.
At a time when President Trump continues to target Ontario workers and industries with unfair tariffs, we’re taking action to protect our economy, attract new investments and build a more self-reliant Ontario.
The Ring of Fire represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen northern Ontario, create jobs and position our province as a global leader in critical minerals.
