A new Welding Lab is being constructed at North West Regional College. A sod-turning ceremony was held today at the college’s Meadow Lake Campus. Rob Clarke, Member of Parliament for Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River, on behalf of Gary Goodyear, Minister of State (Science and Technology), Saskatchewan Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Minister Rob Norris and Meadow Lake MLA Jeremy Harrison were present at a sod-turning ceremony held today at the college’s Meadow Lake campus.

This project is part of the $117 million the provincial and federal governments are contributing under the Knowledge Infrastructure Program (KIP) announced in June 2009. The Welding Lab received funding totaling of $1.477 million from the federal and provincial governments, and the Northwest School Division #203. North West Regional College is also contributing $300,000 for this new facility.

“At a time of economic uncertainty, our government is making a strong intervention to stimulate economic activity through KIP,” said Clarke. “This initiative to renew Canada’s college and university infrastructure will provide a significant short-term economic stimulus and put many people to work in Meadow Lake.”
