Expansion forum Well Attended

Wednesday, January 22, 2014 @ 3:55 AM

Prince George, B.C.- The second annual Market Expansion Forum hosted by Initiatives Prince George  saw more than 150 representatives of local and regional businesses take part.

The day long event  yesterday gave business owners a change to connect directly with  those folks who are responsible for securing  goods and services  for resource related  projects underway  or planned  for  Northern B.C.

The event   was set  for the day before the  Natural Resources Forum  gets underway in Prince George, an event which brings together many of the  companies  involved in projects that are  planned    for the region.

The major companies that took part,  outlined  the procurement processes, schedules and opportunities  during two  sessions.

So, this means 150 businesses gain ?

PIPELINE

If you dont know who was involved in this forum or what it does for suppliers than I suspect it wasnt really meant for you ;)

ps – Enbridge was only one of the companies represented

I really hate to sound negative here, but Edmonton will always provide the bulk of goods and services to the oilfield & related businesses. And after Edmonton, Grande Prairie will take up any slack. P.G. businesses will continue to pick up the crumbs. Look, even Crushed Flattened and Lost Freightways have pulled out, I assume they make so much money in Alberta that N.W. B.C. is a waste of their time.
