Ontario Aerospace Council

Ontario Aerospace Council connects aerospace firms with business development, supplier-readiness programs and trade-show opportunities through provincial industry membership. Its public calendar provides routes to external events as well as its own ecosystem activity. Best Defence is listed for October 20-21, 2026 in London, with technology showcases and buyer engagement, while the Ontario-government AEDEX mission listed for September 8-12 has already passed. Event listings should be attributed to their actual organizers rather than treating the council as a contracting authority. A supplier should identify the target customer, readiness gap and intended market before selecting membership, training or a trade mission, then confirm current eligibility, fees and participation availability with the relevant operator.
