Zekelman dishes out CA$30K to Canadians calling out foreign steel

Zekelman Industries reported paying out CA$30,000 (~US$21,845) in rewards to Canadians who reported the use of foreign steel in public works projects.

Announced in November, Zekelman established the program to pay CA$1,000 to each person who reports the use of foreign steel in active or future public construction projects. The program’s goal is to raise awareness and support for the country’s Buy Canada initiative.
