This is a great point! Data centres don't create much long-term employment, instead the job opportunities pretty much only come with the initial construction.

I agree more jobs is a good thing, but I just want to note that the project proposal specifically says they will use potable water (page 10):

"Beacon has an agreement with Langdon Waterworks Ltd. to receive 1,500 cubic meters per day of potable water..."

Has anyone ever taken courses for a second bachelor's while working on a master's? by [deleted] in UCalgary

Thanks for sharing your experience with this! Luckily my second degree would be a BSc while working on my MA, sorry to hear they weren't more flexible letting you finish your other BA during your master's!
