Add StudioX as a preferred source on GoogleThe federal government has announced a $313-million investment to support Honda Canada’s planned retooling of its vehicle manufacturing operations in Alliston, Ontario. The funding, announced November 13, comes through Ottawa’s Strategic Response Fund.
According to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, the support is connected to an $867-million company plan aimed at the next generation of Honda Civic and CR-V production, increased hybrid output and modernized manufacturing systems. The province of Ontario is contributing an additional $156 million.
The federal release says the project is expected to maintain more than 4,000 jobs and support production of up to 400,000 vehicles a year. Those are forward-looking estimates, rather than newly created positions confirmed on announcement day.
The project also includes workforce training and skills upgrades. Honda has built vehicles in Alliston since 1986, making the facilities a significant part of Canada’s automotive supply chain. The announcement does not mean all the upgrades or vehicle production targets are already complete.
