Statement from OMERS about our Ontario investment footprint
OMERS is the pension plan for active and retired Ontario municipal and local board employees. We have a very significant investment footprint in Ontario which means that, every year, OMERS investments and operations support $5 billion of GDP and more than 40,000 jobs across the province.
Our Ontario infrastructure investments include, to name just a few: Bruce Power, the world's largest operating nuclear facility; Beanfield, an infrastructure company that provides fibre internet services to homes and businesses; and NextBridge, a 450-km regulated electricity transmission line in northern Ontario.
We are always interested in pursuing new investments in our home province and we look forward to engaging with the government on new opportunities that may help build our province while generating returns that will help us pay pensions to our members.
