Total E&P Canada Ltd. is starting construction next year on the $8.9 billion Joslyn North Mine project near Fort McMurray, Alberta.
The project, which was originally proposed six years ago, was just approved by the federal government.
“This announcement is good news for jobs for Canadians in the Building Trades - it means good news for construction and maintenance contractors and it means good news for construction apprentices from across this country,” said Robert Blakely, director of Canadian affairs for the Canadian Building Trades.
