Victor Fedeli: We had the pleasure of attending a milestone event in Englehart

"Today, we had the pleasure of attending a milestone event in Englehart, where Georgia-Pacific unveiled its ambitious plan to invest $191 million in expanding its operations and modernizing its oriented strand board (OSB) mill. This significant investment is a testament to the company's confidence in the vitality of Northern Ontario's forestry sector and supply chain. The positive impact of this development will be felt throughout the region, and we are thrilled to see this injection of capital and resources.

This expansion not only demonstrates Georgia-Pacific's commitment to Ontario but also reinforces the province's reputation as a hub for forestry innovation and growth. The increased capacity and improved efficiency of the OSB mill will undoubtedly create new opportunities for workers, stimulate local economies, and contribute to the region's overall prosperity.

On behalf of the government, I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to the Georgia-Pacific team on this exciting development. We are proud to support businesses like Georgia-Pacific that invest in our province and contribute to the betterment of our communities. This announcement is a clear indication that Ontario is open for business, and we look forward to seeing the positive outcomes of this investment in the years to come."
