Canadian researchers and scientists need modern, high-quality research facilities and infrastructure to make the breakthroughs that will help solve the world's biggest challenges. The federal government is making investments in these facilities to cement Canada's position as a world leader in research and innovation and to ensure Canada can retain and attract top researchers in their fields.
Today, the Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada, on behalf of the Honourable François‑Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, visited TRIUMF, Canada's particle accelerator centre, to highlight the government's investment of $399.8 million over five years, as announced in Budget 2024.
This support will allow TRIUMF to upgrade infrastructure around its cyclotron particle accelerator, which is the largest of its kind in the world. It will also help keep TRIUMF and its research partners at Canadian universities at the forefront of physics research and enable new medical breakthroughs and treatments in fields like drug development and cancer therapy.
