October is being kicked off as Manufacturing Month, with plant tours on Oct. 3.
Grand Erie region’s Manufacturing Day will see some 250 Grade 10 students tour 18 area companies, with businesses in Brantford, Brant, Haldimand and Norfolk represented.
This is the fourth year for the tours, which were created as a way to inform students about career opportunities in our region’s No. 1 industry. About 16,000 Grand Erie residents work in manufacturing here and outside the region.
A list of companies hosting tours in 2019 is on the Manufacturing Month page.
