Manitoba Government extends funding to Gate

Dec 16, 2025 | 3:52 PM

The Manitoba Government will provide an addition $7 million in funding for the Global Agriculture Technology Exchange (Gate).

This brings the total pledged by the province to $20 million.

Cereals Canada CEO Dean Dias said the contribution towards Gate is appreciated.

“I would like to thank the province for its continued support of Gate, and Premier Wab Kinew for championing this project over the last nine months,” Dias said. “Today’s announcement puts us another step closer to getting shovels in the ground at a critical time for Canadian agriculture.”

Gate is a new $102-million, state-of-the-art facility being developed by Cereals Canada in downtown Winnipeg, Man. The vision is to create a world-class hub for research, training, and international collaboration to ensure the long-term competitiveness of Canada’s cereals industry.

Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn said a strong economy depends on helping agricultural producers reach new markets.

“By growing our presence in a wider range of global markets, we’re protecting farmers from trade instability and supporting the people who work every day to put food on our tables,” he said. “This ensures our producers remain strong and that Manitobans continue to have access to affordable food.”

The Gate Capital Campaign has raised $39,150,000 towards its goal. Last week, Cereals Canada announced that Gate will be built at the corner of Lombard and Westbrook, on land provided in-kind by James Richardson and Sons, Limited.

The campaign is targeting contributions from industry groups, agribusinesses and individuals, and support from the three levels of government.
