Site Selection Announces Call for Canadian Corporate Project Data Do you collect investment and job creation data on the private-sector facility construction and expansion projects in your Canadian community? If so, now is the time to begin sending it regularly to Site Selection.

Those honors, based on June 2007-May 2008 project data, will be reported in the September 2008 issue of Site Selection. The Canadian Competitiveness and Top Groups Awards are slated to be awarded in person at the EDAC Annual Conference in Fredericton, N.B., Sept. 13-16.
