NOVA Project Provides Job Security.

From Lee Michaels, Blackburn News.

While it will have spin-off effects on the entire community, the Sarnia Construction Association will be the business sector most affected by NOVA’s decision to build a $2.2-billion polyethylene plant in St. Clair Township.

Long time general contractor Ray Curran expects the bulk of the 1,400 jobs to go to local workers, although some out-of-towners may be called in.

“It’s going to be great for our 5,000 member work force in the construction business,” says Curran. “They’re all union. This is a great deal for all of our people. We may have to bring some workers into the area.

“Some contractors are already working on preliminary preparation on site. The project will be great for our unions and for our contractors. We have 55 members of the Sarnia Construction Association and a good number of them will get work at the new build.”

He expects things to start to ramp up in the New Year with the big hires beginning in the spring.

Shirley has over 30 years of experience in such diverse businesses as financial planning, manufacturing, and supply. Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
