Ciao, Calgary
By Mark Evans | May 27, 2008
Nortel’s Canadian heritage is taking another small step backward amid news that it will close its Westwinds Innovation Centre operations by next year.
The facility, which most conducts R&D on a 59-acre site, employs 400 people. According to Nortel’s Web site, the Calgary camus has “been recognized for quality and employee relations by the Canada Awards for Business Excellence”
The facility is closing as Nortel consolidates operations at fewer locations. It is somewhat ironic that Nortel expanded the Calgary campus in 2000 after having people spread among various locations in the northeast part of the city.
