The Ontario government is pledging $27 million towards a $200 million expansion project announced by Chapman’s, Canada’s largest independent ice cream manufacturer.
Premier Doug Ford announced the funding from the government’s Invest Ontario Fund during a Sept. 19 press conference outside Chapman’s Markdale facility, describing it as a “major vote of confidence” in both Ontario’s economy and its workers.
