WAITING THEIR TURN: Turbine blades destined for the Quality Wind Project in Tumbler Ridge sit on flatbed rail cars in Rycroft, Alberta on Sunday (April 22). The blades – some 44 metres long, others 49 metres long – are being stored in Rycroft until they’re required for assembly. In all, there are 237 blades to be installed in the project’s 79 towers. Trucking the blades to Tumbler Ridge is expected to take place in mid-June. Jennifer Clark photo.
