Winter Solstice signals the time when daylight hours start increasing and the days seem to be getting longer. In the dark days of fall and winter, we rely on lighting to make businesses more welcoming and to extend the hours we can spend outside. Read on to learn how Northern Development has supported businesses and organizations to improve their lighting, including Reid Street Pharmacy in Quesnel and Caledonia Nordic Ski Club in Prince George. On the supply-side of lighting, Westcana Electric has even received funding through the Trust’s business development programs to improve operational efficiency.
