The five projects being funded are: Maritime Labels & Packaging, Sparrow Acoustics Inc.; Coastline Cordage Group Ltd.; Ashored Innovations, and International Pre-owned Barcode Ltd.
These “Companies are working hard to seize new growth opportunities through innovation and expanding their workforces in the process…is key to building a vibrant, resilient economy and a strong future,” said Lena Metlege Diab in the news release.
$700 million over three years is being provided by the Jobs and Growth Fund (JGF) — launched in July 2021 — to Canada’s regional development agencies to support a regional response and stimulate economic recovery following the COVID-19 crisis by investing in projects that will help to create jobs.
The Government of Canada aims to support the transition to a green economy, through the JGF to foster an inclusive recovery, enhance competitiveness, and create jobs in every corner of the country.
