A $1-billion lithium-ion battery cell production plant that was planned for Maple Ridge, B.C., has been shelved.
The parent company, Taiwan Cement Corp., announced construction of the Canadian plant with much fanfare last year, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier David Eby attending and promising a combined $284.5 million in government funding.
