I noticed in another thread that Lamonster mentioned that the BRP factory was shut down ... I'm wondering whats up ? ... Is it a company wide vacation ? or Did BRP shutdown production untill they get a handle on all the problems owners are having ? or ... they can't get parts either ?

Maybe they are going through their model changeover. :dontknow: This is about the time of the year when auto companies do it.

nojokeNothing bad going on... the workers as I understand are just on summer vacation between production runs.

No worries.

I hope the engineers get a good bit of rest, as from all of these concept vehicles I am seeing lately it looks like they may be getting some serious competition in the near future.

I used to work for a company that made furniture and parts for schools. They too were in Canada and took a company wide summer vacation. Not fun trying to get parts or correct bad pieces during their break. I'm sure they deserved a break but to do it company wide is hard to deal with.

We shut down during Christmas and New Years. Kinda nice, especially when it gives you time to spend w/ family. Some people work through it though if needed. I know before my time there they would shut down in the summer also - that was when HDX was there working the first time.
