Hershey has announced that the chocolate factory in Smiths Falls, Ontario will be closed. Its slated to pretty much close down for the Year 2008. This will mean a loss of aprox 500 jobs in Smiths Falls, a town which only has a population of 9000. Hershey has become part of nearly every event in the town since it opened in 1963. This will affect tourism, hockey tournaments, festivals and many more things.

We ask that you reconsider this action and leave the Smiths Falls plant open.

    • The chocolate shop must be profitable enough to justify leaving the factory open, especially if the union would agree to measures such as a hiring freeze and/or a wage reduction.

    • This plant is far too important to Smith Falls and to the area in general to be shut down! We don't want Mexican Chocolate, we want SMITH FALLS chocolate!!! If Smiths Falls closes, I'm boycotting Hershey products!

    • By closing the Hershey factory in Smiths Falls the identity and culture of a town is being taken away. Along with this, the economical well being of this small town will severely suffer. Hershey's in Smiths Falls is an icon in many people's lives for many different reasons. Deciding to shut this plant down and move it to Mexico seems absurd. Who wants to buy chocolate that was made in Mexico?!?!
