To achieve this, the company has divested, or expects to divest, its Puslinch, ON facility (completed on June 30, 2023), Midway, BC facility (completed August 4, 2023), Maple Ridge, BC facility (expected to be completed in September 2023), and Edmonton, AB facility (listed for sale in August 2023).
