construction boom in or around your area

[09 arctic cat m8]

anyone know where the construction trade is booming or decent rath than slow ,as in homebuilding carpenter thnanks and renovations

 

[Pawel]

Tons of work around Bonnyville!

 

[ferniesnow]

Fernie is busy.......Sparwood is busy..........Elkford is busy............Calgary is busy

Enough already??

Cowtown has been STOOPID busy for the past 2 years, and getting increasingly worse.

Welcome to CANADA!!!

Ok thanks as far as renos happening are they going strong and not enough renovators, or is it just new home costruction.

Its stupid crazy in Saskatoon right now. Im a homebuilder in stoon and get asked every couple of weeks if i would be interested in doing home renos but Im way to busy in new construction to consider it.

 

[Snowdin]

Stoon is the second fastest growing city in Canada behind Calgary. What is the big attraction in Stoon? Immigrants moving in. Who knew?

 

[maxwell]

Can't keep up in Edmonton

i was gona say if i didnt have to sleep i have enough work for 24hrs a day

 

[arff]

Leduc and Nisku are busy.

If your not workin in AB its a choice....

 

[lilduke]

Fernie is busy.......Sparwood is busy..........Elkford is busy............

Really? What do you mean by busy.

Try Fort Mac that place is BOOM TOWN... Id rather shoot myself then live there tho...lol

Ron can you please post more.

Ron can you please post more.

Just to start, check out the disaster restoration companies ....
On side, Belfor, Altapro etc...

Being a subcontractor to a couple of em I can tell you all them floods we got from the storms this summer are not anywhere's near caught up.
Most if not alll of em are lookin for carpenters and things of that nature.
There of course are many reno companies that could use skilled help as well. It's out there man, I know a few who have even
posted adds on kijiji and have gotten some pretty good size jobs outta er. (people do like pictures posting a few with your add wouldn't hurt)
All companies start out small.....just another train of thought.


And... just cause its in my nature I'll include a little levity

but THE Mac has the nicest chit brown lakes and rivers i ever seen 0.o

I know you like to get your info from the Tyee.... And the Globe and Mail will never have the same integrety with many but there are other scientific findings out there that many people are quick to dismiss and ignore...


Communities downstream of the oil sands, such as Fort Chipewyan, have long pointed the finger at oil-sands operations for sullying water, fish and people with toxins.
But, Dr. Hall said, the level of pollutants travelling by air and water to a place like Fort Chipewyan are not high enough to merit the concern that has been expressed. Instead, he said, “the conclusion in our paper is that natural sources of PACs” – polycyclic aromatic compounds – “via the water continue to be a main process that’s delivering them.”
In other words, toxins well downstream of the oil sands come from the environment, not big steel stacks – a finding that suggests the industrial impact on the environment is largely local, rather than broadly regional.
The research is controversial. Three researchers – David Schindler, from the University of Alberta, Kevin Timoney, a water expert, and Peter Lee, executive director of Global Forest Watch Canada – argued against its conclusions. Dr. Timoney and Mr. Lee posted an online commentary calling its methods “problematic.” Dr. Schindler said the lake sampling was conducted “well outside the range where atmospheric transport would reach it, so tells nothing about that source. In short, it adds very little to the controversy over the amount that industry is contributing to the river.”
It doesn’t help that the work was funded by Suncor.
But the scientists behind the new research, who spent years trying and failing to attract funding from non-industry sources, have sterling credentials. Dr. Hall was associate dean of graduate studies at the University of Waterloo; he is currently on sabbatical. Brent Wolfe holds a northern research chair from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. George Dixon is Waterloo’s vice-president of research, a scientist whose expertise in aquatic toxicology has been called upon by governments across the world.
To do their tests, they dug into sediments from three northeastern Alberta lakes near the Peace-Athabasca Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site important for fish and migratory birds.
The researchers found levels of airborne metals peaked in the late 1950s and 1960s – before the advent of the oil sands – while arsenic has now fallen to pre-industrial levels and lead is now 10 per cent above “background” concentrations. The researchers attributed some of the pollutant declines to the switch away from leaded fuels and to the end of smelting operations at Yellowknife’s Giant Mine, which, according to Dr. Hall, vented as much arsenic in one 1950s day as the entire oil-sands industry in 45 years.
Perhaps most intriguing: They found levels of polycyclic aromatic compounds, which can cause cataracts, organ damage and cancer in humans, were at their lowest between 1975 and 1995, a period of oil-sands growth. The most PACs came between the mid-1700s and mid-1800s, a dry pre-settlement period on the Prairies that saw substantial forest-fire activity.

Oh and to keep on topic... Commercial Construction is Booming Province wide....
