A local company specializing in gas turbine engine and accessories maintenance, repair and overhaul is receiving support from the governments of Canada and Manitoba.

Premier Wab Kinew and Dan Vandal, the federal minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada, announced on Tuesday they are investing in training for skilled trades and growing Manitoba’s economy through support for StandardAero.

Under the Canada-Manitoba Workforce Development Agreement, the governments of Canada and Manitoba are providing $510,400 from 2024 to 2027 through the Industry Expansion Program to support StandardAero’s employee skill development, including training of 100 new employees and 1,200 current employees.

“Every Manitoban should be able to get a good job so they can put food on the table and save for their future,” Kinew said in a news release.
