Ottawa’s Dominis Engineering Ltd. is getting a $544,500 boost from Industry Canada for its latest research project, Industry Minister James Moore and Ottawa-Orleans MP Royal Galipeau announced Thursday.

Dominis has been in business for nearly 30 years and recently supplied 20 propeller blades for Canadian patrol frigates.
