WORKERS EXPECTED TO
GROW BY 200
Today, the company employs a total of
about 250 workers. When the next phase
is complete — part of a $50-million invest-
ment — those numbers are expected to
grow by another 200, Verreault said. That
means hiring a diverse group of new tal-
ent, from shipyard workers and project
managers to welders, crane operators and
many more.
The expansion will not only benefit Ver-
reault Navigation; it will also provide new
jobs for contractors and increase revenue
through purchases for Quebec-based sup-
pliers. The upgraded dry dock will bring
more dollars into Quebec and Canada
