A study into the location and development of a proposed tidal power servicing centre in the port of Digby will proceed with assistance from the Government of Canada. The announcement was made today by Greg Kerr, MP for West Nova, on behalf of the Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Associate Minister of National Defence and Minister of State (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency) (La Francophonie).
“Digby’s location on the Bay of Fundy and its deep, ice-free harbour make it a port of choice for a service centre for the tidal power generation industry,” said Mr. Kerr. “Our government’s assistance will help the municipality undertake this study, the first step toward the potential establishment of such a facility.”
