Canada will invest nearly $225 million to strengthen domestic rocket launch capability, including a $200 million lease for a launch pad at Maritime Launch Services’ spaceport near Canso, Nova Scotia. Defence Minister David McGuinty said the project supports national security and space sovereignty under Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy.
Additional grants of $8.3 million each will support Canada Rocket Company, NordSpace, and Reaction Dynamics to advance launch technologies. Canada also joined NATO’s Starlift initiative, enabling allied launches across participating spaceports.
