PCL should be done “bid shopping” the sub trade tenders by now.
“will create about 200 jobs”
This means what with respect to the construction of the building?
1. how many total direct person-years of jobs and how many of those are local Burns Lake jobs?
2. the same breakdown for indirect person-years, please.
3. increase in commercial activity (spending) in the community by sector.
I love webcams. :-)
