Incredible news!!
Local company, GRIFFIN Engineered Systems was just awarded a $1.6 MILLION dollar contract from the Government of Canada to provide two ice skimmers for the Canadian Coast Guard! (With an option to buy more!)
Did you know that the Canadian Coast Guard plays a crucial role in protecting our oceans from coast to coast to coast? We are revitalizing and investing in the Canadian Coast Guard through our Oceans Protection Plan.
These ice skimmers will be used to recover spilled oil in offshore, unsheltered and ice-covered waters.
I love seeing Nova Scotian companies earn these open and competitive contracts! We have incredible companies here that are providing great, skilled jobs in our region.
