Dow Canada is the Canadian subsidiary of Dow, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. It manufactures chemical, plastic, and agricultural products used in sectors such as construction, packaging, automotive, and consumer goods.
The company employs about 2,000 people across Canada, with major operations in Alberta, including a large petrochemical complex in Fort Saskatchewan. Dow Canada has been active in the country since 1942 and is one of Alberta’s largest industrial employers. On April 24, 2025, Dow paused construction on its $11.6-billion net-zero petrochemical project in Edmonton due to global economic uncertainty.
In Canada, non-unionized employees at Dow Canada are entitled to up to 24 months of severance pay when laid off or terminated without cause — whether full-time, part-time, or hourly.
