 August 13, 2010 Abbotsford, British Columbia-The Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, is attending the Abbotsford International Airshow today to meet with industry leaders and demonstrate the Government of Canada’s continued support for western Canada’s aerospace and defence sector.
“This event provides a valuable opportunity for representatives from the Western Canadian aerospace industry to build on their recent successes at the Farnborough International Airshow,” said Minister Yelich. “Our government recognizes the tremendous potential of the aerospace industry and is proud to play a leadership role in facilitating new growth opportunities.”

Western Economic Diversification Canada is committed to advocating on behalf of western Canadian industry in the development and application of the federal procurement and Industrial and Regional Benefits policy. WD is also a business facilitator, partnering with, and promoting western Canadian firms and organizations to Prime Contractors that have IRB obligations. |

 July 27, 2010 Flin Flon, Manitoba
The Governments of Canada and Manitoba will invest more than $1.7 million to support the development and delivery of a mining equipment training program at the Northern Manitoba Mining Academy in Flin Flon.
Funding under the Canada-Manitoba Western Economic Partnership Agreement (WEPA) will be used to purchase two state-of-the-art training simulators that will enable miners to learn how to operate underground mining equipment, undertake proper safety measures and cope with an underground emergency situation.
“Providing more than 5,400 jobs as well as spinoff employment for suppliers, contractors and exploration companies and others, mining is the bedrock of Manitoba’s northern economy,” said Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger. “The academy and these new mining simulators strengthen the mining sectors as a major resource to strengthen community and industry partnerships and allow northern residents train close to home for high-wage, high-skilled jobs.” |
