Lunenburg's mayor says the province's announcement to fund a new marine trade will go a long way for the town. Premier Darrell Dexter has announced $460,000 in funding for the province's boat building association. The money will be used to develop a new trade known as a marine service technician. Laurence Mawhinney says the future looks bright for Lunenburg.
The marine service technician would train workers to service, repair, refit and upgrade ships. The premier says the new training program will ensure boat builders have updated skills. Dexter made the announcement at the Bluenose II site in the Lunenburg Shipyard.
