Introduction

Why Bridgewater?

"Of all the places on this continent, Michelin chose Bridgewater because of the potential for long term growth, a pro-business environment and people with an excellent work ethic and quality of workmanship second to none. The Bridgewater facility is highly regarded by our Company. This has been proven by numerous capital investments over the past 30 years. As in most things, people make the difference in bringing technology and investments to life. There is a strong spirit of participation in the plant which is complemented by the support and cooperation of the community. The rich heritage and lifestyle the South Shore offers with its scenic and historic coastline, has allowed us to attract and retain an excellent group of employees - our most valuable asset."

George Sutherland, General Counsel and Secretary, Michelin North America (Canada) Inc.

“There is no other place I can think of in Nova Scotia that has the attractiveness of Bridgewater as a real estate investment, as a place to live and a place to retire. The attitude of staff and council is leagues ahead of most towns in Nova Scotia.  They have a proactive, open-to-business attitude. This town is progressive.  This town is growing.  This town is a leader and this is the place to be, so we’re looking forward to being a part of it."
