This year's summer shutdown will take place the week of June 29. The reduced shutdown is in response to increased customer demand and is happening at all Ford's North American manufacturing facilities, Ford said in a press statement issued out of Dearborn, Mich. Sales of the Ford Edge, which is manufactured at the Oakville Assembly Complex, were up 78 per cent in April, according to the release. "To meet surging customer demand for our top-selling trucks and utilities, we are continuing to run our North American facilities during the traditional two-week summer shutdown in order to add close to 40,000 units," said Bruce Hettle, Ford vicepresident, North America Manufacturing. "Six of our assembly plants will build for an additional week in order to ensure we're getting more of our vehicles into dealerships." This is the third straight year Ford has kept plants running during summer shutdown in order to meet strong demand for its products. www.oakville.ca Public Open House #2 College Park Transportation Study Thursday, June 11, 2015 South Atrium, Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road 6:30 p.m. -- Presentation 7 p.m. -- Alternative solutions available for public comment Your input is important!
