The provincial government made another funding announcement this afternoon to help boost a local business involved in the offshore oil and gas industry.
$750,000 is being provided to Score Canada—a company that supplies, installs and maintains valves for the offshore and mining industries.

Sourced through the province’s Innovation and Development Fund, the money will be used to digitalize the company’s processes, such as valve management, increasing efficiency and improving safety for offshore workers and the environment.
As result, the company is locally hiring 15 skilled workers, who will receive custom training exclusive to Score Canada.
