Canadian government helps CLT Outaouais to improve facilities
28 July 2015The Government of Canada has granted funding to the firm CLT Outaouais in order to improve its facilities and acquire equipment for the manufacture of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels for the residential and commercial building market.
This support is being awarded in the form of a C$374,000 repayable financial contribution through CED's Quebec Economic Development Program.
This manufacturing firm offers a competitive alternative and complementary option to structural building solutions like steel and cement.
As well as helping the company become more competitive, this project should ensure the maintenance of existing jobs in other enterprises in the region while creating some 20 direct jobs in the Regional County Municipality (RCM) of Papineau.
