Long time in the making. New Manitoba NDP government sure is making all the right moves early into their term.

A solar glass manufacturing facility is coming to the city of Selkirk, Man.
On Wednesday, the government of Manitoba said it green-lighted Canadian Premium Sand (CPS) to go ahead with a project that will see silica sand extracted from Hollow Water First Nation and processed in the factory coming soon to Selkirk.
Premier Wab Kinew said the project will create more than 700 jobs during construction and about 270 permanent positions.
In a media release, the province said the Selkirk factory will “produce up to 800 tonnes of solar glass per day,” which it said is a key part of making solar panels. The release added that “the project will be North America’s only low-carbon patterned solar glass manufacturing facility and will appeal directly to countries like the United States that are looking to onshore manufacturing inputs.”
