The Ontario government is investing $5 million in Thunder Bay-based CRIBE (Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bioeconomy) to support sustainable forest innovation. The funding backs CRIBE’s “Growing Ontario” initiative, aimed at developing wood-based bioproducts and boosting the forest sector.
It’s the largest share of a $6.2-million investment under Ontario’s Forest Biomass Program, which supports projects that utilize forest byproducts. CRIBE has helped fund 42 projects worth over $162 million, including drone-based reforestation and biomass-derived soil additives.
