The construction phase of
Cargill’s canola crush plant, which is rapidly changing the landscape a few kilometres southeast of Camrose, has resulted in a significant boost to the local economy. Approximately 97% of the construction contracts have been awarded to Alberta based companies. Even more exciting is that a full 20% of these contracts have gone to companies based right here in Camrose! The facility was designed and is being constructed to process 850,000 metric tonnes
of canola per year. Area farmers are excited at the prospect of a consistent and competitive point of delivery. Locals seeking employment are also optimistic after hearing that hiring is taking place for 50 full-time positions. The Cargill facility will have the capacity to process both generic and speciality canola seed. Construction is on schedule to allow processing to take place in Spring 2015.
