More jobs for Windsor manufacturer

A Windsor automotive trim manufacturer can expect to add 60 new jobs.

Lakeside Plastics Ltd. has a federal grant to thank for the expected job creation.

Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Navdeep Bains said a $1-million grant will help Windsor participate in a “global innovation race.”

Bains added the federal government is committed to engaging with Windsor and helping the city succeed.

“Other jurisdictions are stepping up and building partnerships. We need to do the same as well,” said Bains, on location at Lakeside Plastics.

There are 10 other companies across Ontario Quebec and British Columbia who will receive similar investments from the $41 million federal Strategic Innovation Fund.
