OSHAWA, Ont. (April 24, 2020) — To help Canada meet the urgent need for face masks for health care professionals and for other Canadians, GM Canada is preparing portions of the Oshawa plant to produce face masks based on the GM production model already working in Michigan.
We plan to manufacture approximately one million masks per month at cost for the Canadian government with an estimate of 50 employees supporting two shifts of production.
The project still requires completion of additional work with our governments and our Unifor partners and we will provide updates as we get ready to begin production.
“This is a proud day for all the employees of GM Canada to be preparing the Oshawa plant to make millions of face masks at a cost to help Canada fight this COVID-19 Emergency,” said Scott Bell, president, and managing director, GM Canada. “We look forward to partnering with our government and union partners to make this happen quickly.”
