To Whom it may Concern,

We the Thunder Bay Metal Fabricators Association (TBMFA) wish to submit supporting documents for the proposed Palladium Project in Marathon.

The TBMFA is an non for profit association of over 40 members from the thunder bay area offering significant capability and capacity relating to the design, manufacture, repair, and installation of a broad range of products fabricated from metal.

Collectively, the member companies represent over 100,000 square feet of facilities, and a workforce of approximately 800 employees. The Association members collectively have hundreds of years of experience and expertise in providing comprehensive, time-sensitive, and cost-effective solutions to the needs of heavy industry.

We support the project based on the economic gains it would offer our member firms.

I will provide a written submission for a few of our member firms by Feb 25th.

BR,

John Jurcik
President TBMFA
