why it's more important than you may think...
Canadian Rogers Eastern Limited a venerable metal fabrication business [and design? don't know] has posted a job offer on the federal Jobbank site. This is great, as the Junction needs more and even more industrial jobs. Other than the few that were created in the Junction - when ST Mary's cement opened a distribution site at the old Monarch mills site on Junction Rd earlier this year, and which may have been people brought in from their other locations, there probably were not many created.
In terms of skilled industrial businesses Canadian Rogers Eastern Limited is one the few remaining in the Junction and the last below the tracks. Above the tracks there still is NRI (rubber), Canada Bread, Andrew Merrilees Limited (railroad track and materials), and a number of enterprises on Gunns Rd.

auction of a lot of the mainline equipment a company (link) like this would need to continue operating. The auctioneers site has as part of the sale title that the equipment is being sold as surplus to continuing operations. A company selling its basic machinery and other items right down to the lunch room pieces could probably be thought of in the terms of closing.
