A Major Bank Predicts Growth in the West
Driving in Edmonton now is very different than it was even 5 years ago. Traffic all day and night. It's no surprise the West is growing.
A major bank has released its predictions for the economy for this year and next and Alberta is where most growth will be seen, especially in the jobs market. There is also good news on exports for Ontario, while Newfoundland will see the lowest growth this year. Saskatchewan, which was boosted by agriculture last year, will see slower growth this year before recovery in 2015. The growing workforce in Alberta will be likely to add further demand for housing in the province with the resulting effect on prices.
