The Government of Canada, through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming, is seeking proposals for the design, provision, and installation of a multimedia immersive experience at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Midland, Ontario.

Interested parties must submit their responses by July 29, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EDT, with the tender notice published on July 9, 2026. The project requires a high level of technical expertise in immersive technologies, historical content integration, and on-site installation under strict conservation guidelines. All proposals must align with the site’s heritage values and demonstrate a clear understanding of its significance to Indigenous history and early European settlement in Canada. The contracting authority for this solicitation is Judy Chan, who can be reached via email at Judy.Chan@supplyontario.ca or by phone at 437-224-7980.
