What happened
North American Helium confirmed plans to build a helium liquefier plant in Swift Current. This facility would allow extracted gases to be turned into liquid form locally, rather than being transported to the United States. The project is estimated to cost around $100 million and could be operational within two years of beginning.
Why it matters
The construction and operation of the plant could create temporary construction employment and permanent operator jobs in the region. This project is part of the ongoing helium production in Saskatchewan.
