| Jennifer Rice made note of the opening of the AltaGas Terminal at Ridley Island this week for the Legislature |
With the Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal now in full operation and having already sent its first shipment of propane to Asia last week, North Coast MLA took some time this week to highlight the Grand Opening this week and some of the benefits that the project has delivered to the region.
In her comments, Ms. Rice celebrated the new focus for the Prince Rupert area that the half billion dollar project will bring, as well as the 40 permanent jobs that have been created from the new facility and how it allows North Coast residents to remain in their hometown and find good paying jobs.
AltaGas has been a good partner to work with, contributing about $400,000 in taxes to the city of Prince Rupert last year. They respect our values and local Indigenous communities by treating First Nations as true partners.
Congratulations to the construction crew, staff and management on the grand opening of the AltaGas Ridley Island propane terminal.
The completion of this project reflects the economic progress being made in our region, and ultimately, brings good-paying, family-supporting jobs to Prince Rupert and area.
Ms. Rice shared her review of the news from the North Coast with the Legislature on Thursday morning and has posted a range of photos related to the Grand opening to her Facebook page.
