St. Thomas was the recipient of another economic shot in the arm Thursday (Jan. 11) morning as announced by Filomena Tassi, the minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.
“I am pleased to announce that the Government of Canada is investing $2 million in Amino North America to expand its facility here by over 40,000 square feet and add a new manufacturing line to meet the demands for its automotive products across North America.”
The expansion at the Highbury Avenue plant will create and maintain 45 jobs, with construction already underway.
It’s another indicator of the re-industrialization of southwestern Ontario.
That was the observation from London North Centre MP Peter Fragiskatos.

The increasing demands on the St. Thomas Police Service “related to auto thefts needs appropriate attention” – Insp. Steve Bogart
Prior to charging full steam into the Christmas/New Year’s holiday season, the provincial government announced $18 million in funding to help police services combat and prevent auto theft.
The Preventing Auto Theft (PAT) grant was presented to 21 projects across Ontario to support new and enhanced crime-fighting measures that focus on prevention, detection, analysis and enforcement.
The St. Thomas Police Service was one of the recipients with a grant of just shy of $609,000 over three years.
To be clear the money is earmarked for the actual theft of vehicles and not break and enter where contents are stolen.
The first question that comes to mind is: is the theft of vehicles a significant threat in St. Thomas?
