Ontario Boosts Fertility Support Access In Windsor

The Ontario government is investing $1,571,277 in Victory Reproductive Care in Windsor to help more families access publicly funded fertility treatments closer to home. This funding through the Ontario Fertility Program (OFP), will support approximately 163 in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles improving access to care and reducing wait times for individuals and couples in the Windsor region.

This investment is part of the province’s $250 million expansion of the OFP, which will enhance services at 25 clinics across Ontario, including six new IVF sites.

The funding was announced by Andrew Dowie, MPP for Windsor–Tecumseh, joined by Anthony Leardi, MPP for Essex and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health, and Dr. Rahi Victory at Victory Reproductive Care. 

“Every family deserves the chance to grow, and this investment shows our government’s commitment to making that dream a reality for more people in our community,” said Andrew Dowie, MPP for Windsor–Tecumseh. “By expanding access to fertility services close to home, we are easing the stress and reducing wait times for families who rely on this important support.”

Of the overall investment of $250 million, $50 million for 2025/26 is estimated to fund an additional 5,000 IVF cycles across the 25 new and expanded clinics. The remaining $200 million investment will be allocated in 2026 to approved clinics for fiscal years 2026/27 and 2027/28.

Through Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, the Ontario government is making steady progress to ensure the OFP is better equipped to meet the needs of patients and provide them with timely and high-quality fertility care where and when they need it, closer to home.
