Hi all,
An article from the Business Edge News Magazine. Excerpts:
Two enormous natural gas finds in northeastern B.C. - the Montney Trend and the Horn River Basin - have piqued the interest of a number of big U.S. and Canadian oil and gas names and sent a massive amount of investment pouring into the region.
"I think the whole region itself is going to take off and become extremely busy," he said. "As far as planning goes, it`s on track and I think the city is well prepared."
Fort McMurray, whose population has doubled over the past decade, has been struggling with acute labour shortages and skyrocketing housing prices. Fort St. John is facing similar challenges, but to a much lesser degree, Ackerman said. "It`s a constant battle up here, as with other places like Calgary and Fort McMurray, to find employees," he said.
