Oshawa harbour has a big impact on the local economy

A new study shows just how valuable the Oshawa harbour is to the Region of Durham. According to Martin Associates, the port generates $23-million in economic activity and supports 294 jobs. CEO and Harbour-Master with the Oshawa Port Authority Donna Taylor says the numbers show a strong and vibrant port.   Taylor says more good things are happening at the port with the extension of the east warf and the construction of a rail spur. She says the vision of a mixed use port, with recreational and commercial development working hand-in-hand with industrial, is very much within reach and something they’d also like to see.
