May 4, 2026

The government is investing more than $6.5 million in emergency preparedness grants to strengthen the response capabilities of Ontario Corps partners across the province and ensure they can get boots on the ground quickly when emergencies and natural disasters strike. Funding is being allocated to 13 Ontario Corps partners to support equipment, supplies and training as part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario communities and ensure critical resources can be deployed at a moment’s notice to keep residents safe.

To date, the province has invested $21.5 million in Ontario Corps partners. Through these investments, the province has secured equipment such as debris removal tools and machinery, flood barriers, drones, mobile emergency shelters, food boxes and food trucks, personal protective equipment and other supplies. Equipment can be deployed within 24 to 72 hours after an emergency occurs. Partners will also conduct training to ensure they have the knowledge and skills needed to respond quickly and effectively.
