Burk’s Falls Unleashes New Dog Park at Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
On Friday, November 14th, Brawo Brassworking Limited held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate significant upgrades to its manufacturing operations, supported by a $400,000 grant from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC). Mayor Chris Hope attended on behalf of the Village of Burk’s Falls, alongside MPP Graydon Smith representing the Provincial Government. The funding enables Brawo Brassworking to add a new hydraulic press and induction heater, increasing production capacity, improving efficiency, reducing waste, and supporting local employment. The upgrades will protect 115 existing jobs and create up to four new skilled positions in the near future. “We are proud to see this level of investment in our community,” said Mayor Chris Hope. “Brawo Brassworking has long been an important employer in Burk’s Falls, and this support helps secure local jobs while strengthening our regional economy.” MPP Graydon Smith also highlighted the impact of the investment: “This funding ensures that local manufacturers like Brawo Brassworking can continue to innovate, grow, and compete globally. It’s a win for the company, for Almaguin, and for Northern Ontario.” The Village of Burk’s Falls congratulates Brawo Brassworking on this milestone and extends its appreciation to the Province of Ontario and NOHFC for their continued commitment to economic development in the region.
