TORONTO – The Ontario government is leading the world in cancer care by launching the Funding Accelerated for Specific Treatments (FAST) program, making Ontario the first jurisdiction in Canada to fast-track access to breakthrough cancer drugs. This bold initiative will connect patients to life-saving cancer treatments almost a full year sooner, reducing delays and improving access to cutting-edge cancer care for years to come.

“For thousands of Ontarians facing a cancer diagnosis, fast access to treatment is critical, which is why our government is transforming cancer care and speeding up access to new and life-changing treatment options,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “The launch of this historic program is another way we are continuing to lead not only the country, but the world, by putting Ontario patients first, opening the door for faster public access to innovative medicines.”

On average, Canadian patients wait nearly two years to access new publicly funded medicines – a full year longer than patients in other developed countries. This three-year pilot program will expedite access to seven to ten high-priority cancer drugs every year that are approved by Health Canada through the Project Orbis pathway, an international initiative that fast-tracks regulatory approval for promising cancer therapies.

While traditional models wait for lengthy pan-Canadian pricing negotiations and approvals prior to public funding, the FAST program puts patients first by initiating public drug program funding while negotiations proceed. This innovative approach ensures Ontario patients can receive timely access to the life-changing treatments they need. By removing unnecessary delays, Ontario is leading the way in rethinking how cancer care can be delivered, here in Ontario and across the world.

As part of Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, the Ontario government continues to expand access to critical services and innovative treatments ensuring more people receive the right care, including faster access to life-saving cancer therapies, where and when they need it, closer to home.

TORONTO — The Ontario government is protecting families and vulnerable people from respiratory illnesses by preparing to launch its fall immunization programs. To help prevent serious illness, everyone is encouraged to get their flu and COVID-19 vaccines as soon as they become available as well as RSV immunization for those eligible.

“As we head into respiratory illness season, our government is using every tool in our toolbox to protect our communities, families and our most vulnerable,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Working with our health-care partners, we are making sure flu, COVID-19 and RSV immunizations are available close to home, where and when they are needed.”

Immunizations for high-risk and priority groups will begin in phases:

The initial supply of flu and COVID-19 vaccines in September and October will be available for high-risk and priority groups who live, work or study in Ontario, including:

Starting the week of September 22, Ontario residents aged 60 to 74 who meet certain high-risk criteria or live in specific higher-risk settings, as well as those aged 75 and older, are eligible to receive RSV vaccines, Abrysvo^® or Arexvy, as part of the province’s recent expansion to the adult RSV prevention program.

Starting October 1, eligible newborns and infants up to eight months of age in their first RSV season and high-risk children up to 24 months of age in their second RSV season can receive the Beyfortus^® immunization. Pregnant women also have the option to receive the RSV vaccine Abrysvo^® which can help protect infants at birth.

Starting October 27, free flu and COVID-19 shots will be available to the general public at participating pharmacies, some public health units and participating doctor and nurse practitioner offices.

“As we head into the fall, it’s important that we take simple, effective steps to stay healthy,” said Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health. “Staying up-to-date on seasonal vaccines is significant to protect yourself, your family and loved ones and is a cornerstone of our preparedness this respiratory season.”

Vaccines in Ontario’s routine immunization schedule are provided free of charge if you meet the eligibility criteria. If you are unsure about which immunizations you or your family have received or are eligible for, talk to a health-care provider or your local public health unit.

Through Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, the Ontario government is providing people with the tools they need early to connect to the care they need to keep themselves and their loved ones safe and healthy.

TORONTO – To protect Ontario’s health-care system by providing more connected and convenient care to people around the province, the government is consulting to expand the scopes of practice for a wide range of regulated health professionals, including optometrists, psychologists and physiotherapists. This expansion would improve access to timely care, reduce pressure on the health-care system and allow more providers to work to the full extent of their training and expertise.

“Across our province, qualified health-care professionals are ready to contribute more to their communities, ensuring doctors’ offices and emergency departments are available for those who truly need them,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “By working to expand scopes of practice for additional professions, we are building on our progress to make it faster and easier for families to access the care they need, when and where they need it.”

The government is currently consulting with partners on proposed changes that could:

In addition, the government provided direction to the Ontario College of Pharmacists to develop regulatory changes that would further expand pharmacists’ scope of practice, enabling pharmacists to assess and prescribe for an additional 14 ailments:

If approved, pharmacists would also be able to administer additional publicly funded vaccines (including RSV, Pertussis, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pneumococcal, and Shingles), and administer Sublocade® (buprenorphine) for opioid use disorder. Additionally, the Ontario College of Pharmacists will be consulted on the administration of point-of-care tests by pharmacists to support implementation of common ailment prescribing, like strep throat testing. These changes would help alleviate pressures on primary care providers, walk-in clinics and hospital emergency departments, giving them more time to help people with more complex needs.

As part of Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, the government is protecting the health-care system, including making it easier for highly skilled, regulated health-care professionals to work to the full extent of their training and expertise to provide people with more connected and convenient care.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

City of OntarioEconomic Development Agency

ONTARIO, CA — The City of Ontario is unveiling its most ambitious placemaking initiative yet: the Ontario Sports Empire, a 200-acre sports and entertainment complex that blends professional sports, community recreation, and year-round events into one destination.

Anchoring the development is a new 6,500-capacity Minor League Baseball stadium, future home of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Single-A affiliate. Rising near Riverside Drive and Vineyard Avenue, just south of the 60 Freeway, it is set to open in April 2026.

At build-out, the complex will be the largest sports complex of its kind in Southern California—delivering much-needed public athletic amenities and transforming the city’s southern gateway into a hub for competition, entertainment, and community life.

“The Sports Empire is a testament to the vision of our City Council,” said City Manager Scott Ochoa. “Ontario’s baseball roots run deep, from generations of local leagues to historic community ballfields. The Ontario Sports Empire builds on that legacy with a modern venue and a complete sports complex — a place for families to gather, play, compete, and connect for decades to come.”

Inside the Build

The Professional Stadium (Opening April 2026)Fans will experience a series of themed “neighborhoods” around the stadium, each offering distinct atmospheres, concessions, and activities:

The stadium will feature more than 75,000 square feet of food and beverage offerings. Seating will include 4,500 fixed seats, berms, and terraced viewing areas. A 1,000-space parking structure will serve the venue, with pads reserved for future amenities.

Community Sports Complex (Opening October 2026)Wrapping around the stadium, the complex will feature:

Designed with local athletes in mind, the complex will give Ontario’s youth leagues, school teams, and community programs access to high-quality fields and facilities previously unavailable in the region. It will also host regional and national tournaments, attracting visitors while ensuring residents have year-round access to top-tier recreational spaces.

To support these events and ease neighborhood traffic, Vineyard Avenue will be extended, and a new six-level parking structure along it will add 1,300 spaces. Mounted on the structure’s east side, a 152-by-51-foot jumbotron will face into the complex, streaming live games and event coverage for families and spectators in the activity area.

Stadium VillageAt the heart of the district’s entertainment and hospitality hub, the Stadium Village will feature:

With more than 1.2 million visitors expected each year, it will bring the district’s energy to life — offering places to stay, dine, and connect.

“The Ontario Sports Empire will be a regional magnet for athletes, fans, and families,” said Jennifer McLain Hiramoto, Executive Economic Development Director. “The Stadium Village will channel that energy into our local economy — supporting jobs, attracting new investment, and solidifying Ontario’s position as one of Southern California’s premier sports and entertainment destinations.”

Looking AheadWith construction milestones on track for next year’s openings, the development will soon welcome its newest tenant — the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Single-A affiliate.

The team will host a free community celebration at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at Ontario Town Square to unveil its name, mascot, and merchandise. The evening will feature live music, a drone show, and special appearances, kicking off the countdown to Opening Day at the new stadium in April 2026.
