Whitby's industrial and commercial base, the manufacturing, logistics, and institutional sites concentrated around operations like Sofina Foods (Lakeside), 3M Canada-area operations, GE/automotive suppliers, distribution and 3PL warehouses, port and marina operators, building-products firms, drives steady demand across very different specs.
