The CNRE comes at an exciting time for this
region and the industry as a whole.

 

“We are so pleased to be the host city for Canada
North Resources Expo 2013. As BC’s northern capital and the largest supply and
service centre for one of the fastest growing regions in Canada, Prince George
is the ideal location for this show,” said Heather Oland, CEO of Initiatives
Prince George. “With $70 Billion in resource projects planned and underway in
northern BC over the next 10 years, there is a lot of business to be done and
we look forward to welcoming everyone to Prince George,” said Oland.

 

The event will focus on the machinery, products,
technology, services, talent and manpower needed to get the infrastructure
developed, as these mega-projects ramp-up.

Show Management recently attended the BC Natural
Resource Forum in Prince George. Traffic and interest at their booth was
excellent and the buzz around this new event was extremely positive.

 

“Contractors and dealers alike are already
talking about CNRE, and making plans to attend,” explains MaryAnne Arcand,
Chair of Resources Expo, and Executive Director of the Canadian Interior
Logging Association. “Concurrent events will bring billions of dollars’ worth
of projects and their representatives together to showcase contract
opportunities. Our steering committee is energized and excited, full of
creative ideas to make this the best Expo Prince George has ever seen,” said
Arcand.
