Northeast Nova Scotia Correctional Facility Update

Since our official groundbreaking on July 16th construction on the new jail has been moving at a steady pace. The footings and foundation are now complete, and we're now beginning work on the walls. We've finished building primary and secondary access roads, and the 47 wells for the geothermal field are underway. We expect the facility will be complete by mid-2014.

Currently, we are developing a staffing plan to begin the hiring process. There will be over 100 jobs at the new facility, 70 of them new positions. We expect to begin the hiring process in late 2013.

We will provide further updates and information as it becomes available.
