SUGAR LAND--May 25, 2016--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Canada's easternmost provinces are far removed from the energy-oriented provinces where the Oil & Gas Industry is king. With a little more than $500 million in projected construction starts in third-quarter 2016, according to Industrial Info's project database, the Atlantic Canada region has a strong representation for industries that have less influence further west. More than 80% of the TIV is attributed to four industries: Food & Beverage, Metals & Minerals, Pharmaceutical & Biotech and Petroleum Refining.

Within this article: Details on key projects set to begin construction in Atlantic Canada in third-quarter 2016, including those from major companies such as Atlantic Gold Corporation (TSX:SVU), Nalcor Energy, Irving Oil Limited, North Atlantic Refining Limited and Northern Energy Solutions Limited.
