The Ontario government announced today that it has awarded the contract for the functional programming of a new, state-of-the-art Emergency Preparedness and Response Headquarters, which will also serve as the future home of\u00a0Ontario Corps<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the functional programming stage of planning, prior to the actual design of the facility, its specific functions, activities, and operational requirements are determined. Strategically located on 17 acres near Toronto Pearson Airport and major 400-series highways, the province says the the facility will be equipped with cutting-edge technology to serve as Ontario’s 24\/7, year-round emergency command centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis new command centre will help us protect communities across Ontario with faster, more coordinated responses whenever emergencies happen, ensuring help gets to the people who need it most,\u201d said Premier Doug Ford. \u201cWith a modern home for Ontario Corps, we\u2019re making sure these volunteers and everyday heroes have the tools they need to carry out their critical operations and keep people safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the province, in 2025, Ontario Corps volunteers contributed more than 6,000 hours delivering emergency relief, including supporting wildfire evacuations, erecting flood barriers, delivering wellness checks, and providing meals in communities across the province. Likewise, Ontario\u2019s Emergency Preparedness and Response teams led through one of the busiest and most demanding emergency flood and wildfire seasons on record in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support this build, the government says it has been consulting with stakeholders and industry experts to inform the design and construction of the new headquarters. This new headquarters and emergency command centre will be purpose-built to withstand all hazards, with state-of-the-art facilities to bring faster, smarter and more coordinated support to communities across the\u00a0province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking bold steps to build and renew our infrastructure and grow our economy, and that\u2019s why Ontario needs a strong emergency management system to stay protected, resilient and ready,\u201d said Jill Dunlop, Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Response. \u201cThat means investing in a modern headquarters designed for future challenges and enabling more effective, coordinated and enhanced emergency response.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new headquarters are part of the government\u2019s more than $220 billion plan to build, repair, and expand critical infrastructure across the province. By investing in the largest infrastructure expansion in Canadian history, the government says it is protecting Ontario workers and jobs by creating the most resilient, self-reliant, and competitive economy in the G7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
