Marine transportation improvements are on the way for the Kitimat area as the result of a new joint venture agreement.
Dubbed the Bridgemans Kitamaat Joint Venture, the agreement was made between the Haisla Nation and marine transportation provider Bridgemans Services Group.
According to Bridgemans President Brian Grange, the goal of the Venture is to stimulate growth opportunities and provide marine-based employment opportunities.
Bridgemans plans to integrate with the Nation on numerous local projects in the Douglas Channel, where they hope to provide training and advancement, as well as open fleet expansion opportunities.
