GM closed its Cami plant in 2025, laying off 1,100 workers after ending BrightDrop production due to low demand and regulatory issues.
In 2025, General Motors permanently shut down its Cami Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, after ending production of the BrightDrop electric delivery van due to weak demand and regulatory hurdles, resulting in 1,100 layoffs.
The plant, retooled at a $1 billion cost with government support to become Canada’s first all-electric facility, has no new vehicle announced, leaving workers like Rachel Knapp and John Tuffin uncertain about their futures.
Though GM says it remains committed to the site and offers mental health support, many face financial and emotional strain, balancing hopes for a revival against the need to seek new jobs amid ongoing trade tensions and shifting auto industry dynamics in Ontario.
