The Canadian Press, 08 Sep, 2017 05:58 PM

    The Central 1 Credit Union is forecasting growth for 2017 at 3.5 per cent and said the province's economic situation will remain healthy through 2020.

    He also said tourism, the film industry, technology and business investments will remain steady due to "favourable currency."
