Minister of Finance boasts about KW’s economic prosperity

Minister of Finance Charles Sousa was in Kitchener today, speaking about the booming area we call home.

He says it’s getting easier and easier for our Region to attract the top minds, especially with the Waterloo Region-Toronto Corridor.

“They’re setting $17.5 billion dollars in opportunity in the coming years because of that cluster,” says Sousa.

“Because of the hub between the Universities and the College, and the likes of Perimeter Institute, Quantum Research, Quantum Valley.”

What’s really encouraging, according to Sousa, is that young entrepreneurs are sticking around our region when their start-ups grow.

He adds that local unemployment in the area is well below the national level, which is exactly what areas across Canada should be wanting to see.
