Premier Jason Kenney says it’s invigorating to see the province’s investment in the Keystone XL pipeline pay off in the form of jobs for Albertans.
“Today’s announcement that Nisku-based contractor Michels Canada will construct the Alberta portion of the Keystone XL pipeline confirms thousands of new jobs will begin to fuel the provincial economy within weeks,” Kenney said.
He adds the announcement is confirmation of the imminent hiring of 1,000 construction workers each year over the next two years.
“This will spur thousands more jobs and economic activity in associated trades, retail and hospitality services in communities along the route when construction begins this summer. It’s another significant step in fulfilling our commitment to Albertans to protect the value of the province’s energy resources and attract new investment.”
