Feds Approve Crawford Nickel Project in Ontario, Promising 5,000 Jobs During Build The federal government has approved the Crawford Nickel Project, a proposed open pit mine in northern Ontario.
The project is expected to inject $5 billion into the local economy and create 5,000 jobs during construction, with an additional 1,300 jobs when fully operational.
The approval is significant because it marks the first mine to be approved under Prime Minister Mark Carney's new impact assessment process.
