New Training Program Coming


The new Atikokan Renewable Fuels plant will soon be the site of a new training program.

Speaking recently to the Atikokan Chamber of Commerce, owner Ed Fukushima says it's a program that will also involve Confederation College and Human Resources Development Canada.

"We'll be training people in the forest processing of fibre," says Fukushima, debarking, chipping, grinding and pelletizing of fibre. There's notking like that in North America."

The plant is expected to begin production later year.
