A new sign eight miles north and a tad east on Highway 855 indicates that CAPE is open for business.
Located in the former Flint buildings, the new Halkirk business has been in operation since the beginning of January and has 18 employees.
CAPE manufactures oilfield production equipment and is a welcome addition to our community.
Snow fell again in our community on the weekend and it’s approaching the seventh month without a break.
