The Ontario government and Sanofi celebrated the grand opening of Sanofi's new $925 million vaccine manufacturing facility, named the Charles Best building, at the historic Connaught Campus in North York. The 263,000-square-foot facility received $55 million in provincial support and will serve as the central hub for manufacturing, formulation, filling, and packaging of the Fluzone High-Dose Influenza Vaccine for adults aged 65 and older, creating 300 new high-skilled jobs. This project brings Sanofi's total investment in Ontario to over $2 billion across multiple initiatives, reinforcing the province's domestic biomanufacturing capacity and life sciences strategy.
