"Algoma has always been part of the name of this steel company since 1901, in various forms. And it's perfectly acceptable to maintain this relationship with the community and the region that bears that name, "says Ms. Stenta.
Algoma has more than 2,700 workers in Sault Ste. Marie.
Until the restructuring has been completed, the steel plant will be called Essar Steel Algoma, for legal and financial reasons, says Stenta.
