Canada invests in Alcoa aluminium plant upgrades

The government of Canada has made a C$10-million investment in an C$85-million project that will support 520 jobs at aluminium giant Alcoa’s Deschambault-Grondines plant, in Quebec.

The investment would help Deschambault-Grondines to innovate by acquiring new technology that will help it increase production at a lower cost, to better meet market demand, the government said on Wednesday.
