Message from the President
Dear Readers,
In this edition, we are excited to feature nine vibrant businesses in the City of Prince Albert as our Businesses of the Week. These include Meridian Energy Services Inc., Glenmor Equipment, Maxim Truck & Trailer, Exact Fencing Ltd, The Fireplace Hut, Medallion Manufactured Homes Inc., Schmalz Auctions, Super 8 by Wyndham, and Kaze Productions. For details on their services, please see page 1.
Last week’s question was: If the product is a refrigerator, name two raw materials (found in Canada and state the province as well) that are utilized in its manufacture. Additionally, name the companies that mine these raw materials.
The answer is that refrigerators are manufactured using various raw materials. Two key raw materials found in Canada and their respective provinces, along with the companies that mine them, are:
- Nickel (Ontario)
- Company: Vale Canada Limited
- Location: Sudbury, Ontario
- Details: Nickel is a critical component in stainless steel and various metal alloys used in refrigerator manufacturing.
- Aluminum (Quebec)
- Company: Rio Tinto Alcan
- Location: Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec
- Details: Aluminum is used in the construction of refrigerator bodies and internal components due to its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties.
For more information, see our article on “Understanding the Raw Materials Composition of Refrigerators, Their Locations, and the Companies Mining Them” on our website. Don’t miss this week’s new question on page 3—you could win $10 for a correct answer!
Congratulations to Tahlia Watcheston for her meaningful contributions toward promoting the understanding of raw materials. We had the pleasure of speaking with Tahlia in Saskatoon, and she graciously agreed to feature in the newsletter on Tuesday, July 15, 2024.
Together, we can foster innovation and drive economic growth in our community, province, country, and worldwide.
Best regards,
President Leo
