Great to spend part of the Victoria Day weekend at Toronto Police Service 32 Division’s Community Barbecue here in #Willowdale. 🚔🚨
Thank you to the officers and staff of TPS for your hard work and for helping keep Willowdale such a safe and welcoming community. And thank you to everyone who came out to support our officers, connect with neighbours, and celebrate the strength of our community together.
Yesterday, I visited “Eat, Drink, Pink” in Niagara-on-the-Lake — an evening celebrating 20 years of the @pinkpearlcanada Foundation with a comedy show featuring @frankspadone , @standupali , and @theleonardchan .
Great to be at an event that brings the community together to support meaningful work in a fun way. Thank you to @maria.mavridis.notl for organizing!
This morning, I visited Anova Fertility Clinic in #Willowdale to highlight our government’s continued investment in fertility care and family-building supports across Ontario.
As part of a $250 million investment over three years, we’re expanding access to publicly funded fertility services. This includes $100 million dedicated to improving access to fertility treatments and care.
These investments will help reduce wait times and ensure more people can access the support they need to start or grow their families.
Anova’s work is changing lives every day, and it’s great to see that impact firsthand here in Willowdale.
Great to be at the BetGuard launch yesterday, right here in #Willowdale!
Responsible gambling remains a core priority for our government, and as Ontario’s gaming market grows and evolves, so do our safeguards.
The launch of BetGuard supports the long-term sustainability of a healthy market, places player protection at the forefront of the gaming experience, and contributes to Ontario’s strong responsible gaming framework.
About a year ago, I had the chance to visit the set of Law & Order and deliver a line in the season finale… airing tonight!
Being part of the production, even in such a small way, gave me a firsthand look at the incredible amount of work that goes into every shot — from directing and DPing to gaffing, grip & elec, sound, art, wardrobe, hair and makeup, talent, and so much more. The skill and coordination behind the scenes is always remarkable. It’s no wonder this sector supports nearly 45,000 jobs and contributes $2.6B to our economy.
Our government is proud to support this industry with a $1B investment as it uplifts Canadian talent and tells stories that audiences here and around the world can connect with.
Lots of respect for everyone working in the screen industry.
Catch Law & Order tonight at 8PM on NBC or streaming on Peacock!
Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to speak at ICA’s AdForum Summit.
The creative and advertising sectors play an important role in driving tourism, attracting investment, supporting local businesses, and generating economic growth across our province. When we tell Ontario’s story well, we strengthen our global reputation, make it easier to attract business and talent, and showcase the values and communities that make our province unique.
Great to attend the 24th Annual ACTRA Awards in Toronto and celebrate the performers who help make Ontario’s screen industry one of the best in the world.
ACTRA members are at the heart of this $2.6B sector and the evening was a powerful reminder of the talent, creativity, and artistry that drive this industry forward.
Our government is proud to support Ontario’s film and television sector with nearly $1B in investments, helping protect and grow an industry that creates jobs, attracts global productions, and showcases Ontario talent and stories to audiences around the world.
This summer, I’ll be highlighting spots you should visit across Ontario's North.
Each week will feature incredible destinations, from breathtaking shorelines and rugged wilderness to vibrant communities and unforgettable experiences.
Whether you’re planning a summer road trip, a weekend getaway or your next great outdoor adventure, I encourage you to get out and explore northern Ontario.
See you there!

After a productive few days on our Los Angeles mission, I was pleased to join @filmontario at their dinner with industry leaders and partners.
The conversations throughout this mission have reinforced the incredible momentum behind Ontario’s film and television sector and highlighted new opportunities to strengthen our global partnerships.
By continuing to build strong relationships and listen to industry leaders, we’re keeping Ontario competitive and attracting more productions to our province.
Today is McHappy Day! — A day where McDonald’s donates a portion of proceeds from every purchase to support families with sick children through Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Be sure to visit your local McDonalds to support.❤️🍟
Continuing our mission in Los Angeles, I met with global studio leaders from Netflix, Amazon MGM, Warner Bros., Paramount Skydance, and Disney.
These partners have a strong track record of investing in Ontario, reinforcing our position as a leader across the full film and television pipeline, from pre to post production.
As we work to protect Ontario, our focus is on securing new projects, strengthening long-term partnerships and creating more good jobs for people across the province.
Great views and even better conversations yesterday with both @gaumont_ and @mrc .
Our conversations focused on strengthening Ontario’s edge in attracting film and television production and co-productions, and positioning Ontario as a top destination for future projects — opening the door to new investment, long-term partnerships, and continued growth.
