Torstar to close Spectator plant on Hamilton’s Frid Street

Torstar will close its Hamilton printing and mailroom operations on Frid St. near Dundurn St. this summer and look at selling the property. The newspaper publisher says the printing work done at the facility will be transferred to TC Transcontinental Printing and other Torstar-owned facilities as well as other external printers. The decision will require new accommodation for the Hamilton Spectator which built the facility some 40 years ago.
