Production is set to resume May 4

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada has announced it is extending its shutdown of automobile and components plants in Canada and across North America through May 1, with production now set to resume May 4.

It cites the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a decline in vehicle demand.

It does say its service parts operations and finished vehicle logistics centres will still operate as it works to meet the ongoing needs of their customers.

The company also says it will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate action in a timely matter.

Toyota has plants in Cambridge and Woodstock.
