NARRATOR: Ever wonder where that plane was made? That
engine, landing gear or avionics system? Or how about the ideas that are the foundation
of tomorrow's greener, more fuel efficient aircraft?
It may surprise you, but many of the ideas
that will change the aerospace industry are happening right here – in Ontario. Ontario
is home to one of the world's most vibrant Aerospace industries.
Over 350 companies like Bombardier, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty,
Pratt and Whitney Canada and Goodrich have facilities here.
Supplying parts and components to OEMs and
Tier One suppliers worldwide.
DAVE KROETSCH: We're applying technologies to the aerospace
industry in ways that other people just haven't.
The programs that are being created here,
the acceleration centres, the incubators are, you know, really spurring on that innovation economy.
DR. DAVID ZINGG: So the two big drivers for aviation going
forward are going to be trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and trying to reduce fuel burn per passenger kilometre.
And UTIAS is working on all of those fronts.
SIMON ROBERTS: Bombardier is clearly export-orientated. For
our Q400, we have 41 customers in 40 different countries.
DAVE MCINTYRE: We supply structural components to both OEM
and tier one aero structure companies.
SIMON ROBERTS: We've been on this site for 82 years, built
over 8,300 aircraft. We couldn't have done that without the supply chain within Ontario.
DAN BREITMAN: And we have an aerospace cluster right here in Ontario.
GERALD PISARZOWSKI: So there's a strong history here of companies being able to deliver on time with quality product.
MOIRA HARVEY: So access to skilled trades and skilled labour,
including engineering, is very key to our success and our ability to attracting new business.
SIMON ROBERTS: We have the ability to connect education,
research and development and industry here, in the province.
DR. DAVID ZINGG: We have partnerships with Bombardier and Pratt
& Whitney in particular related to green aviation.
DAN BREITMAN: We have a tremendous proportion of world-class
institutions generating mechanical engineers and aerospace programs.
DR. DAVID ZINGG: At UTIAS, we're able to attract some of the best of the best.
TIM WHITTIER: Canada overall has a very favourable climate
in which to invest in aerospace. Both levels of government are very supportive of our industry.
DAVE KROETSCH: I think what Ontario really helps with is
the incentivization to do business here.
DAVE MCINTYRE: I would say you're in business to grow your
business. So you need a, a pro business environment that believes in growth, and you get that
in, in the government here.
TIM WHITTIER: I think one of the other advantages that we
here at Goodrich is from our recruitment standpoint is our ability to offer a tremendous quality
of life to people coming from other parts of the world.
MOIRA HARVEY: You can find almost anything that you want
to do, whether it's sports, whether it's theatre, whether it's entertainment.
DAVE MCINTYRE: You have to cultivate the aspects of your
business all the time to find that competitive advantage. Do I think Ontario can do that? Absolutely.
NARRATOR: A proven aerospace history and infrastructure
A competitive tax and cost structure
A highly skilled and educated workforce trained
in world-class educational institutions Tomorrow's ideas...
Are happening here... Today.
Ontario, Canada
Your Next Big Idea.
