At least five Canadian cities—Vancouver, Halifax, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal—are competing to host the new Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank (DSRB), set to create up to 3,500 jobs by 2026. This bank, intended to support NATO and allied countries, aims to address military spending pressures amid global tensions. Toronto’s City Councillor has publicly advocated for the city, emphasizing its economic significance, while Ottawa’s officials express readiness to host the headquarters. The final decision will be made by the Prime Minister and cabinet, with discussions already held by Halifax and Ottawa’s leadership.
