Company Profile:
Harbour Grace CS Inc (HGCS) was founded in 1994 by people
with an interest in fishing and harvesting fish and is now one of the major
employers in Harbour Grace. Harbour Grace was for decades one of the most
important fishing towns in Newfoundland and was also a base for operation
in Labrador until early 1900. HGCS was built next to the site of a former
large fishplant - fillet factory, fishmeal factory, etc - which employed up
to 600 people at the same time.
In history - Harbour Grace was founded in 1517
by Francis I of France. It has a strong connection to the fishing industry
since the 1500's. It was the last place of departure in North America for
the pioneers flying from North America to Europe - one of the most famous
pilots was Ms. Amelia Earhart, whose flight across the Atlantic began here
in 1932.
Harbour Grace has today a population of about
3.500 people - there are efficent service facilities in the town and surrounding
area.
The distance to St. John´s - the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador
-
is only 100km via the highway.
