Here come the jobs

This is not a beginning, rather a continuation of what has been a dynamic and well thought out plan that has yielded positive and tangible results. The jobs have arrived and will continue to do so. These are not low paid jobs in retail and tourism. These are well paid jobs in industry. These are jobs that are a direct result of the Port of Prince Rupert leadership delivering on what they promised; the most efficient, effective and productive port in North America. With this stunning success the rest now follows. Other industry is following bringing with it more jobs. The retail sector is growing to meet the needs of an expanding population; Wal-Mart and A&W are confirmed; Shoppers Drug Mart are opening a big outlet in Prince Rupert Mall. And there is still more to come. We await news on Canpotex and the old pulp mill site. This is what a boom looks like at the b stage. Investment in Prince Rupert is happening on an hourly basis. Don't wait for the oom part. Following the link below will take you to the BC Provincial Government BC Jobs site and specifically to the forecast for jobs growth in the next eight years. This is not now a hope, this is the new reality. The future is now and the future is Prince Rupert. http://www.bcjobsplan.ca/stories/reece-goudreau-at-the-gateway/
