General Motors Canada is expected to announce up to 1,000 new jobs this week, published reports say.
The Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star, citing unidentified sources, say the jobs are expected to be announced Friday at General Motors’ engineering centre in Oshawa.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne are expected to be on hand when the announcement is made at GM’s Canadian headquarters.
The reports say the new positions will eventually be spread out at a number of General Motors research and development facilities.
