OFFERING CIRCULAR


Province of Ontario
(Canada)
Programme for the
Issuance of Debt Instruments
______________________________________________________
This document (the "Offering Circular") constitutes an offering circular in respect of the Programme (as defined below). This
Offering Circular does not constitute a base prospectus for the purpose of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the
"Prospectus Regulation").
Under the Programme for the Issuance of Debt Instruments (the "Programme") described in this Offering Circular, the Province
of Ontario ("Ontario" or the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to
time issue debt instruments (the "Instruments"). Any Instruments issued under the Programme on or after the date of this
Offering Circular are issued subject to the provisions hereof.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Instruments issued under the Programme during the period
of twelve months following the date of this document to be admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and
admitted to trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Euro MTF Market"). The Euro MTF
Market is not a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU ("MiFID II"). The Programme provides that
Instruments may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such further or other stock exchanges or markets as
the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) (as defined herein) may agree as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement (as
defined herein), subject to compliance with all applicable laws and the rules of such stock exchange. The applicable Pricing
Supplement will specify whether the Instruments are to be listed or will be unlisted Instruments.
The Instruments may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified herein (each a "Dealer" and
together the "Dealers", which expressions shall include any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to
time) or to persons other than Dealers. Any Dealer or other person to whom an Instrument is so issued is referred to herein as
a "Purchaser".
This Offering Circular is a "prospectus" for the purposes of admission to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and admission to trading of the Instruments on the Euro MTF Market in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and Part IV of the Luxembourg Law of 16 July 2019 on prospectuses for securities. THIS
DOCUMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A PROSPECTUS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE PROSPECTUS REGULATION.
There are certain risks related to an investment in the Instruments which investors should ensure they fully
understand. See "Risk Factors" at page 9 hereof.
This Offering Circular supersedes any previous offering circular or prospectus in relation to the Programme.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
The Issuer has prepared this document for the purpose of giving information with regard to the
Programme, the Instruments to be issued thereunder and itself as the issuer of such Instruments.
RESPONSIBILITY
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Offering Circular. To the best of
the knowledge of the Issuer (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the
information contained in this Offering Circular is in accordance with the facts and does not omit
anything likely to affect the import of such information.
NOTICES REGARDING OFFERS IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
This Offering Circular has been prepared on the basis that all offers of Instruments in any member
state of the European Economic Area ("EEA") (the "Relevant Member States" and each, a "Relevant
Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the
requirement to produce or publish a prospectus for offers of Instruments. Accordingly, any person
making or intending to make any offer within a Relevant Member State of the Instruments which are
the subject of an offering contemplated in this Offering Circular as completed, supplemented or
modified by the applicable Pricing Supplement in relation to those Instruments may only do so in
circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to produce or publish a
prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to
Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer and none of the Issuer
nor any Dealer has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of an offer of Instruments in any
other circumstances.
In relation to Instruments offered in a Relevant Member State in circumstances which would otherwise
require publication of a prospectus in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation, such Instruments
shall either have a minimum denomination of not less than EUR100,000 (or its equivalent in other
currencies) or be offered solely to qualified investors within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation.
Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of
Instruments in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a
prospectus or supplement a prospectus pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation for such offer. Neither
the Issuer nor any Dealers have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of the
Instruments through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the relevant Dealers which
constitute the final placement of the Instruments contemplated in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
If and to the extent that this Offering Circular is communicated in, or an offer of Instruments under the
Programme is made in, any Relevant Member State, this Offering Circular and the offer are only
addressed to and directed at persons in that Relevant Member State who are qualified investors
within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation (or who are other persons to whom the offer may
lawfully be addressed) and must not be acted upon by other persons in that Relevant Member State.
PRIIPS REGULATION - PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Pricing Supplement in respect of any Instruments includes a legend entitled "PRIIPs Regulation
- Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Instruments are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, any retail
investor in any Relevant Member State. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is
one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer
within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the
Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No.
1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the Relevant Member States has been prepared and therefore offering
or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the Relevant
Member States may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
i



MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE/TARGET MARKET
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Instruments may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product
Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Instruments and which
channels for distribution of the Instruments are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling
or recommending the Instruments (for the purposes of this paragraph, a "distributor") should take
into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Instruments (by either
adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue of a Tranche of Instruments about whether, for
the purpose of the MiFID II Product Governance rules under Commission Delegated Directive (EU)
2017/593 (the "MiFID II Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for such Tranche of
Instruments is a manufacturer in respect of such Instruments, but otherwise none of the Arranger nor
the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purposes of the MIFID II
Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Instruments may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR
Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Instruments
and which channels for distribution of the Instruments are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Instruments (for the purposes of this paragraph, a "UK
distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor
subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the ''UK
MiFIR Product Governance Rules'') is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment
in respect of the Instruments (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue of a Tranche Instruments about whether, for the
purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for such Tranche of
Instruments is a manufacturer in respect of such Instruments, but otherwise none of the Arranger nor
the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purposes of the UK
MiFIR Product Governance Rules.

investor in Instruments should determine for itself the relevance of the information contained in or
incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular and the applicable Pricing Supplement and its
purchase of Instruments should be based upon such investigation as it deems necessary. In making
an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Issuer and the terms of

ISSUANCE AND FORM OF INSTRUMENTS

represented on issue by a temporary global instrument in bearer form (each a "Temporary Global
Instrument") or a permanent global instrument in bearer form (each a "Permanent Global
Instrument" and together with a Temporary Global Instrument, collectively referred to as "Global
Instruments"). The Temporary Global Instrument representing the interest in a Tranche of a Series
of Instruments will be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for a Permanent Global Instrument, or if so

delivered on or prior to the relevant issue date to and registered in the name of a nominee of the
Common Safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Where the applicable Pricing

The Programme has been rated A+ by S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services (Canada), a business unit of S&P Global Canada Corp. ("Standard & Poor's"), Aa3 by
Moody's Canada Inc. ("Moody's"), AA (low) by DBRS Limited ("DBRS") and AA- by Fitch Ratings,

Tranches of Instruments to be issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a
Tranche of Instruments is rated, such rating may be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Such ratings will not necessarily be the same as the ratings assigned to the Programme or any
Instruments already issued.
A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to
suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Instruments may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in any
Instruments must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances.
A range of Instruments may be issued under the Programme, including Instruments with a fixed or
floating rate of interest, Instruments with a variable rate of interest and Instruments that may be
payable in a currency other than the currency in which they are denominated. These Instruments may
have features which contain particular risks for potential investors. Accordingly, a potential investor
should not invest in Instruments unless it has the expertise (either alone or with the help of a financial
advisor) to evaluate how the Instruments will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects
on the value of such Instruments and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's
overall investment portfolio.
v



None of the Dealers or the Issuer makes any representation to any investor in the Instruments
regarding the legality of its investment under any applicable laws. Any investor in the Instruments
should satisfy itself that it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Instruments for an
indefinite period of time.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain
investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisors to determine whether and to what
extent (1) Instruments are legal investments for it, (2) Instruments can be used as collateral for
various types of borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any
Instruments. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate regulators to
determine the appropriate treatment of Instruments under any applicable risk-based capital or similar
rules.
ADDITIONAL TERMS
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Instruments may be issued in a form or with terms and
conditions not contemplated herein or not fully set out in the Terms and Conditions and the form of
Pricing Supplement set out herein.

are to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and monetary
union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as amended and references
to "sterling" or "£" are to the lawful currency of the UK. References herein to the "European
Economic Area" are to the member states of the European Union together with Iceland, Norway and

STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Instruments, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) appointed
as Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) may over-allot
Instruments or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Instruments at a
level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur.
Any stabilisation action or over-allotment may begin on or after the date on which adequate public
disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Instruments is made and, if begun, may
cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the
relevant Tranche of Instruments and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of
Instruments. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all
applicable laws and rules and will be undertaken at the offices of the Stabilising Manager(s) (or

OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAMME
This overview must be read as an introduction to this Offering Circular and any decision to
invest in any Instruments should be based on a consideration of this Offering Circular as a
whole, including any documents incorporated by reference.
The terms and conditions (the "Conditions") of any particular Tranche of Instruments will be the
terms and conditions substantially in the form set out under "Terms and Conditions of the Instruments"
as supplemented, modified or replaced by the Pricing Supplement applicable thereto and, in respect
of any Instruments represented by an Instrument in global form (a "Global Instrument"), by the
provisions of such Global Instrument. Words and expressions defined in "Forms of the Instruments"
and "Terms and Conditions of the Instruments" and in the remainder of this Offering Circular shall
have the same meanings in this overview.
Issuer:
The Province of Ontario (the "Province" or "Ontario") has the highest level of
economic activity and the largest population of any of Canada's ten provinces.
Ontario is Canada's leading manufacturing and trading province. In 2021,
Ontario's manufacturing sales totaled about $310.8 billion or 43.1% of the
Canadian total. Ontario's household disposable income per capita in 2021 was
$38,372.

The Provincial economy displays many of the characteristics of a mature
economy, including substantial secondary and service sectors. In broad terms,
the primary sector is composed of agriculture, mining and forestry, while
manufacturing, utilities and construction form the secondary sector. The
remaining categories, such as transportation, communication, wholesale and
retail trade, and business and public service, make up the service sector.

The Province covers an area of approximately 1,076,395 square kilometres
(415,598 square miles), about 10.8% of Canada, and is about 11% as large as
the United States. The estimated population of Ontario on July 1, 2022 was
15.1 million, or 38.8% of Canada's population of 38.9 million. Since 2002, the
populations of Ontario and Canada have both increased at an average annual
rate of 1.1%. Although it constitutes only 12% of the area of the Province,
southern Ontario is home to approximately 94.6% of its population (as of July
1, 2022). The population of the Greater Toronto Area, the most populous
metropolitan area in Canada, was estimated to be 7.2 million on July 1, 2022.

each case on a syndicated or non-syndicated basis.
Programme Limit:
The maximum aggregate principal amount of Instruments which may from time
to time be outstanding under the Programme (including Instruments issued

under prospectuses or other offering documents prepared in relation to the
Programme prior to the date of this Offering Circular that remain outstanding)
will not exceed CAD32,000,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies as

The Issuer will have the option to increase the amount of Instruments which
may from time to time be outstanding under the Programme in accordance with
the terms of an amended and restated dealership agreement dated March 9,
2023 (the "Amended and Restated Dealership Agreement").
Issuance in
Instruments will be issued in series (each a "Series"), and each Series may
Series:
comprise one or more tranches (each a "Tranche") of Instruments issued on
the same or different dates. All Instruments of the same Series shall have
identical terms, including as to listing (save as to the issue price, issue date,
first payment of interest and nominal amount of the Tranche and save that a
Series may comprise Instruments in more than one denomination and
Instruments in bearer form and Instruments in registered form). Tranches may
be issued on different issue dates and at different issue prices and, after the
applicable Exchange Date (as defined herein), each such Tranche will be
consolidated and form a single Series with the outstanding Instruments of that
Series.

Each Tranche will be the subject of a Pricing Supplement which, for the
purposes of that Tranche only, supplements, modifies or replaces the
Conditions of the Instruments, and must be read in conjunction with the
Conditions and this Offering Circular. The terms and conditions applicable to
any particular Tranche of Instruments are the Conditions of the Instruments as
supplemented, modified or replaced by the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Form of
Instruments may be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Instruments") or in
Instruments:
registered form ("Registered Instruments"). Registered Instruments may not
be exchanged for Bearer Instruments.

Bearer Instruments with a maturity of more than one year will, unless the
applicable Pricing Supplement specifies otherwise (in particular with respect to
Bearer Instruments to which U.S. Treasury Regulation §1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D) or
any successor rules that are in substantially the same form that are applicable
for purposes of Section 4701 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "TEFRA D Rules") are specified in such Pricing Supplement),
initially be represented by a temporary global Instrument without interest
coupons, which will, on the issue date of the relevant Tranche (a) if the
applicable Pricing Supplement indicates that the Bearer Instruments are not
intended to be issued in NGN form, be deposited on or before the relevant
issue date with a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg or with a depositary or common depositary for any other agreed
clearing system or (b) if the applicable Pricing Supplement indicates that the
Bearer Instruments are to be issued in NGN form, be delivered to a Common
Safekeeper for Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg.

Such temporary global Instrument will, not earlier than 40 days after the
relevant issue date and upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership,
be exchangeable for a permanent global Instrument or, if so specified in the
applicable Pricing Supplement, for Bearer Instruments in definitive form, in
accordance with its terms.

Bearer Instruments having an original maturity of one year or less and Bearer
Instruments for which the applicable Pricing Supplement specifies that U.S.
