PotashCorp shows Saskatchewan some love

Feb 14, 2011 | 12:45 PM

PotashCorp said they expect another 600 people will be working for them by 2015.

The announcement, Monday, is in response to a pledge the company made to Saskatchewan during the height of the hostile take-over bid by BHP Billiton last fall.

The public promise included moving head office staff back to Saskatoon and having a greater community presence.

PotashCorp will have 300 employees working in its Saskatoon office by the end of 2013, up from 209 at the end of 2010.

There will be five more senior executives working in Saskatoon by the end of March.
