The largest automotive employer in southwestern Ontario doubled down on its commitment to its Canadian workforce on Friday, despite uncertainty across other parts of the auto industry.

Toyota Canada reaffirmed that commitment at a factory tour of its Woodstock, Ont. plant where the production of the sixth generation of RAV4 SUVs is underway.

“This is a significant demonstration of Toyota’s confidence in our people, our plants, and our manufacturing ecosystem,“ Tim Hollander, the president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC), said.

“It also reflects our long-term commitment to Canada and the communities where we operate.”
