Scotian Gold
Scotian Gold Cooperative Limited is a grower-owned cooperative of more than 30 apple grower members. Scotian Gold Cooperative stores and packs 50 percent of the apple production in Nova Scotian and is the largest apple packing and storage operation in Eastern Canada.
On October 27, 2017, Kings-Hants MP and president of the Treasury Board, Scott Brison, visited Scotian Gold to make official a $1.75-million federal government investment in new state-of-the-art apple packing technology at the co-operative’s Coldbrook location. This investment allowed Scotian Gold to expand its Coldbrook plant with the addition of two new to Atlantic Canada high-efficiency production lines that will nearly double the capacity. In addition to the $1.75 million announced, the project, with an overall budget of some $5.5 million, also included “a $500,000 loan from the Atlantic Canada Opportunity Agency (ACOA).” The balance of the cost was funded by Scotian Gold through its member-growers.
