AEROSPACE UNVEILING Pat White, CEO and president of Gander Aerospace Manufacturing, welcomes a crowd of supporters on Sept. 8, as he officially opens GAMIs newest hanger.

The hanger was built to accommodate the increased aircraft service work being carried out by the company. Renovations were made possible with the help of a $500,000 repayable loan from the Atlantic Canada Oppourtunities Agency.

Gerald Keddy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Revenue and for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), on behalf of the Rob Moore, Regional Minister for Newfoundland and Labrador and Minister of State (ACOA), was on hand at the opening. GAMIs initiatives are well-worth investing in, he said.

Our government is pleased to support local companies like Gander Aerospace Manufacturing that are creating jobs in growth industries such as aerospace and defense, said Keddy. We recognize that a strong and competitive economy relies on such companies as Gander Aerospace Manufacturing as they continue to expand, diversify and pursue new business opportunities. With its roots in aviation, its no surprise that Gander is still buzzing with activities centered on the aerospace and defense industry.
