Northern Transformer Groundbreaking
The Town of Innisfil Economic Development team was thrilled to join the Northern Transformer Corporation team at their new Innisfil location on the morning of September 18, 2025 for a groundbreaking celebration!
Joined by dignitaries from several levels of government, we celebrated welcoming an investment of nearly $207 million from Northern Transformer Corporation (NTC), a leading manufacturer of high-voltage power transformers, to establish a new, state-of-the-art facility in Innisfil.
This investment marks NTC’s entrance into the large power transformer market, creating 151 new jobs in the community and filling a critical gap in the province’s energy supply chain.

Municipal Agriculture Economic Development and Planning Forum
Early Bird registration for the 2025 Municipal Agriculture Economic Development and Planning Forum is still available. Held in Simcoe County on October 22–23, 2025, the event brings together municipal leaders, planners, economic developers, farmers, and agri-business professionals to explore how land-use planning and economic development can support resilient rural communities and sustainable agri-food systems. Day one features an agri-business tour, while day two offers a full conference. This year’s theme, “Cultivating Common Ground,” highlights collaboration and innovation in agriculture.
Resources in Response to U.S. Tariff Concerns
The Town of Innisfil is actively engaged in discussions with a number of partners regarding the impending tariffs. In particular, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, is leading the charge on behalf of Canadian municipalities as it pertains to a number of tariff-related impacts, which may include, but are not limited to municipal law enforcement, import and export of goods and services, impacts to municipal procurement and infrastructure projects, and potential impacts on small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Mayor Dollin, Council, and Economic Development staff are participating in these conversations and sharing the feedback of local business stakeholders.
In the meantime, the County of Simcoe Economic Development Office has created a dedicated webpage with comprehensive Tariff Resources to help businesses navigate potential changes. Also found on the site is a short tariff impact assessment created in collaboration with the Western Ontario Wardens Caucus.
