Province Announces Funding For Verschuren Centre

by Bobby NockFebruary 4, 2021

The Verschuren Centre at Cape Breton University is getting $672,500 from the province’s $50 million Forestry Innovation Transition Trust.

The Trust was set up in the wake of the closure of Pictou County’s Northern pulp mill.

The Verschuren Centre will use the money over the next six months to support the development of a Bio-technology Acceleration Centre.

The Centre will help companies commercialize their research.
