Osisko Metals shares rise on 53% resource boost at Gaspé copper project
A minimum 70,000 meter drill program is now planned for 2025.
Able-bodied welfare recipients in southern British Columbia will receive moving and training assistance so they can fill jobs in Northern B.C.
Kevin Falcon, B.C. Finance Minister, made the announcement at a Chamber of Commerce meeting in Kamloops early this week. He said the plan’s details are not yet developed. A formal announcement is planned for later.
“We’re working across government to put together a package to find a way to fly them up to where work is, provide accommodation and training, if necessary, and put them into high-paying jobs,” said Falcon, according to the Kamloops Daily News.
The program would be voluntary, and number of participants is expected to be small.
Northern B.C. has a number of major resource projects underway. The Kitimat aluminum smelter is being rebuilt for $2.5 billion. BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line is going ahead, which will cost about $404 million. And of course northeastern B.C. has numerous oil and gas projects and is located beside the perennially understaffed oilsands industry in Alberta.

Great Idea! This should be done in Ontario as well. Moving to the work is part of living in Canada.

This saw the emergence of link forms and reciprocal linking sites.

Skilled manpower with required qualifications are available in Africa. lets go and give them expatriates conditions.

It is about time someone doe something like this. Ontario should do the same thing with the mining industry.

Make it compulsory, like national Service. No one is entitled to taxpayer $’s when work is available with relocation. That’s what once made the US great, an influx of people willing to cross oceans to find work. What is a few miles by comfortable train in BC compared to the hardships the early settlers endured.

Another load of political hot air Welfare recipients are not interested in leaving the comfortable lower mainland weather to work in the north. They are contebt to sit on their ass while our tax dollars support them.

Nonsense…Most of welfare cheque collectors do not want to go to work, even in their home town; a very few would go up North to do any real work
