Ontario has pledged nearly $5 million towards developing a new crane training facility, aiming to help address the workforce shortage in skilled trades and support ongoing construction across the province.

The provincial money will help fund a $25 million training centre in Oro-Medonte, 90 minutes north of Toronto, which will be led by the Operating Engineers Training Institute of Ontario (OETIO).
