Government of Canada supports Cambridge-based aerospace manufacturer

Oct 13, 2022

Cambridge, Ontario

Employing thousands of highly qualified people in every region across the country, aerospace is one of the most research‑intensive and export-focused manufacturing industries in Canada. In Ontario, manufacturers are part of the global supply chain for virtually every passenger aircraft in the world, and the industry works closely with local academia and businesses to develop and commercialize new products and technology.

Today, on behalf of the Honourable Filomena Tassi, Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), Valerie Bradford, Member of Parliament for Kitchener South–Hespeler, announced nearly $1.4 million for Racer Machinery International Inc. (RACER). This investment will improve the company’s productivity and competitiveness, and position it to emerge from the pandemic as a key player within the global aerospace supply chain.

RACER is a second-generation, family-owned aerospace manufacturer in Cambridge, Ontario. With this repayable investment, the company will further develop and manufacture complex aerospace parts for helicopters and gas turbine engines, through a process that will help reduce material waste. As a result of this project, the company will be able to create and maintain up to 31 jobs, as well as grow its annual domestic and international sales by up to $7 million.

The Government of Canada is committed to supporting southern Ontario’s aerospace sector by providing businesses the support they need to grow, create jobs and contribute to a strong recovery and future economic growth in a greener and more sustainable way.

Video: Agriculture Secretary Rollins Speaks at American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim

One of the highlights at the 2026 American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim, California, was an address by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. During her remarks, she thanked America’s farmers and ranchers and said the Trump Administration is fully aware that food security is national security.

She also acknowledged the challenging times in Farm Country with low commodity prices and high input costs and said that’s why the President stepped in to help with the recent Bridge Assistance Program.

Montana Farm Bureau Federation Executive Vice President Scott Kulbeck says that Farm Bureau members are appreciative of the help and looks forward to working with the American Farm Bureau Federation and its presence in Washington, DC to keep farmers and ranchers in business.

Secretary Rollins said the Trump Administration is also committed to helping ranchers build back America’s cattle herd while also providing more high-quality U.S. beef at the meat case for consumers.

And she also announced more assistance for specialty crop producers who only received a fraction of the $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA).

It’s important to note that producers who qualify for Farmer Bridge Assistance can expect the Farm Service Agency to start issuing payments in late February. For more information, farmers and ranchers are encouraged to contact their local USDA Service Center.
