WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government said it will spend up to $1.48 million to help luxury jacket maker Canada Goose expand its Winnipeg manufactur­ing operations.

Premier Brian Pallister said the $15.8 million expansion will create about 700 jobs. He said the province’s contributi­on will be spent to help train sewing machine operators over three years. The new facility will be the company’s third factory in Winnipeg.

Dani Reiss, CEO of Canada Goose Holdings Inc., said the company employs 3,000 people around the world, who make products that are sold in more than 38 countries.
