Horizon North Logistic Inc. has received a $140-million contract to provide manufactured housing for up to 1,900 people in the Fort McMurray oilsands region in northern Alberta. The company said it will manufacture the 750-unit dormitory complex at its factory in Kamloops starting in the fourth quarter. It didn't name the customer, but described it as a major operator. Horizon North currently employs 450 people at its Kamloops plant but chief executive Bob German said it plans to increase its workforce by 25 per cent.
