At a time when the province of Newfoundland is facing a changing economic
landscape, the Western owners are showing great faith and commitment to the
province and its people. Newfoundlanders have faced many challenges in the
past. The province's history is one built around a fishing industry and as
this resource is under pressure from a stock perspective, the rural
communities have been required to adapt to these changes. The "challenge of
change" will always be a constant and together we must face these obstacles
and overcome them.
"Whether it's a fishing town, paper mill town or a mining
town, we always have to be vigilant and forward looking," says Reynolds "We,
at Western Petroleum, have this attitude and with this mindset we also face
the challenges and with an unwavering support for our province and its
people." Rural Newfoundland is the home for both owners and they support its
economy with their investment. The people of the province have supported
them in their growth and as both owners like to say: "We are born and bred
Newfoundlanders and that is the way we intend to stay. We support other
local businesses and if we all continue to support each other, the future
will always be clear and history will show that Newfoundlanders have again
persevered against all challenges!"
