The Problem:
Labrador City is located on the 53rd parallel, which makes it one of the northern most cities in all of Canada. Mining is the major industry so it's critical to have a reliable source of energy with minimal downtime. With only one flight entering and leaving this cold city each day, repairs are neither quick nor easy.
Labrador City, one of Canada's northernmost cities on the 53rd parallel, relies heavily on mining with a critical need for uninterrupted energy.
