Toronto, ON \u2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The Ontario government is expanding the mandate of the Building Ontario Fund (BOF) to include critical minerals as a new priority area for infrastructure investment. BOF plays a pivotal role in catalyzing investments in transformative infrastructure projects across the province. With this expanded mandate, BOF will be able to invest in enabling infrastructure \u2013 such as roads, energy systems, transportation, and housing \u2013 that will make it possible for Ontario\u2019s critical minerals sector to grow. These investments will be made in collaboration with institutional investors, government ministries, and Indigenous partners.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to the Ontario government for their ongoing support and this expanded mandate,\u201d said Michael Fedchyshyn, CEO, Building Ontario Fund. \u201cInvesting in infrastructure projects that enable the critical minerals sector complements our existing priority areas for investment. The expanded mandate enables BOF to consider more co-investment projects with a wider range of stakeholders, including Indigenous financing opportunities to accelerate investment and economic development in Northern Ontario communities.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The update to the Fund\u2019s mandate was shared in the 2025 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, presented by the Honourable Peter Bethlenfalvy, Ontario Minister of Finance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBuilding Ontario Fund was created to accelerate investment in high-priority infrastructure projects across Ontario, and that now includes enabling infrastructure of the critical minerals sector,\u201d said Minister Bethlenfalvy. \u201cThis expanded scope for BOF is expected to benefit Ontario and Indigenous partners as it supports the growth of a highly strategic sector for the province.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
