10 Mile Bay will not resume operation this summer due to financial problems.
We spoke to Clint Davis the Chair for the Labrador Inuit Capital Strategy Trust.
He says they tried very hard to find a new business partner and new customers.
But unfortunately these efforts couldn’t be completed in time to make 10 Mile Bay operational for this season.
Davis says 36 seasonal workers are affected this year.

how pathetic
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon,
ReplyDeleteI would like to state that as the most recent Assistant General Manager, who unfortunately fell prey to a bizarre set of circumstances this past fall that forced me to resign, I am very much interested in being considered for the General Manager position that is currently vacant.
With more than a decade of working at the federal government in labour market and economic development capacities, as research economist, program manager, and senior policy advisor, I clearly have the education and experience to do this work. Moreover, I am a beneficiary who is willing to give up my federal employment to take what I have learned and experienced in socio-economic development and contribute to the social, community, and economic development needs of our people.
I have a great desire to do this and I pray that after all of the silly shenanigans of this past fall that somebody in a position of authority will see to it that I can once again prove that I am the most qualified and dedicated person to be the General Manager of the LIDC and ICST.
Sincerely,
Charles Martin

The entire problem with this situation was the former management style lacked effective planning, monitoring, and reporting procedures. As well there was virtually no consultation with those at the quarry or others who could contribute importantly to each years production results.

Ok, I would like somebody to follow-up with the trustees and have them tell us how they can say that they produced 700 cubic meters last year and now tell us they lost money.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe for a minute that 700 cubic meters came out of that quarry because I have heard from a hig up source that they never even produced 100 cubic meters.
Is this another case of telling us one thing when actually something totally different is going on behind the scenes???
If you don't believe me, read last winter's interview with the LIDC General manager!!!
