The environmental solutions industry is one of
the fastest growing sectors of the Canadian economy.
Public concern about environmental degradation
has forced government as well as business to invest in protection,
remediation and analytical products, services and technologies.
There is a common understanding that Canadians must act now to protect
the environment, or risk forfeiting the future. As a sign of its
commitment, the federal government recently promised $3.5 billion
over the next 10 years to clean up toxic sites and another $500
million for special sites.
The environment is big business. But companies
must act now to position themselves to take full advantage of the
opportunities that are coming. Most importantly, they must establish
an in-province base of operations and capacity. As competition for
cleanup contracts increases, companies that ship out of province
or locate in high cost centers will be at a disadvantage. The wrong
location can expose you to higher operating costs, lower profit
margins, longer turn around times and increased exposure to political
risks such as border closings etc.
Kirkland Lake can help.
