South Canoe Needs 100 Workers To Build Wind Farm

The developers behind a large scale Lunenburg County wind farm will look to hold a job fair in an effort to hire 100 workers to build their multi-million dollar wind project. Minas Basin Pulp and Power, Oxford Frozen Foods and Nova Scotia Power were given the green light yesterday to proceed with construction of 34 wind turbines in the New Ross area. Minas Basin's John Woods says they'll host a competitive hiring process.



Woods says they've already done some preliminary work with local employers regarding their workforce. Construction on the $200 million project will begin this year with a completion date set for December 2014.
