SUGAR LAND--December 12, 2016--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Western Canadian region continues to recover from the devastating wildfires that racked Alberta in May, with labor productivity and the real gross domestic product for Canada-wide businesses improving in the third quarter. Gains were attributed to the mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction sectors, according to Reuters, all of which have a strong presence in the Western Canadian region. Industrial Info is tracking $107.59 billion in active projects in the region set to begin construction in 2017, almost 90% of which are attributed to four such industries: Oil & Gas Production, Oil & Gas Pipelines, Metals & Minerals, and Power.
