Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced Thursday the province will help build a new “innovation arena” in Waterloo, a major centre for Canada’s tech industry.

The arena will be an incubator for new companies and a research facility. It will bring together researchers and entrepreneurs to develop new health technology and commercialize it.
