At the Steel Town Summit, industry leaders strongly encouraged Canada’s transport sector to prioritize domestically produced steel and aluminium. The call aims to strengthen national supply chains, support local jobs, and reduce reliance on foreign imports.

  • Boosting Local Industry: Advocates emphasized that using Canadian steel and aluminium ensures higher quality, sustainable production, and fair labour practices.

  • Securing Supply Chains: Prioritizing domestic materials would shield the transport sector from global price volatility and trade disruptions.

  • Green Transition: Canadian producers highlighted their commitment to lower carbon footprints, aligning with the transport sector’s clean energy and sustainability goals.

The summit concluded with a collective message: strengthening the bond between Canada’s transport and steel/aluminium industries is vital for economic growth and long-term resilience.
