Ontario Supporting $250 Million Investment to Expand Life-saving Medical Isotope Production at Bruce Power

February 27, 2026

As part of our plan to protect Ontario, our government is strengthening Indigenous participation in Ontario’s economy and expanding access to life-saving medical treatments for people here at home and around the world. 

Ontario is an energy superpower, and today’s investment builds on our nuclear advantage while creating generational economic opportunities for Indigenous partners. 

Through the Saugeen Ojibway Nation’s expanded economic participation, our investment will support hundreds of good-paying jobs, help Ontario meet growing demand in the global isotopes market and build on the province’s nuclear advantage to help stand up to U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty. 

The provincial loan guarantee is the largest of its kind since the Indigenous loan guarantee program began in 2009.

Administered by the Building Ontario Fund, the Indigenous Opportunities Financing Program seeks to advance economic reconciliation and prosperity by enabling financial participation of Indigenous partners in Ontario-based infrastructure projects.

Our government will continue to lead the world in producing life-saving medical isotopes, protecting patients and securing Ontario’s economic future.
