CGC hosts community meetings over upcoming Wheatland wallboard plant

Canada: CGC is holding a series of meetings between 5 November and 3 December 2024 in which to discuss the possible impacts of its upcoming Wheatland wallboard manufacturing plant in Alberta with the local community. The Canadian Press News has reported that 100 jobs will be created at the plant. Hiring will commence in early 2025, prior to the plant’s commissioning later in 2024.

Plant manager Duane Van Douren said "We are focused on making sure that the communities around us are well aware of who CGC is, and providing information about our plant and the build that is happening on our site right now, which started back in early spring 2024 and is progressing very quickly.”

CGC reportedly told the Toronto Sun newspaper that current anti-dumping measures have reduced the availability of gypsum wallboard in Canada by 65Mm2 cumulatively since 2016. As a result, extant gypsum wallboard stocks are sufficient only to build 220,000 homes.
