Calgary-based Horizon North Logistics Inc. says rebuilding efforts in the oilsands region of northern Alberta have proceeded at a much slower pace than expected and demand for its camp, catering and modular building services fell off "significantly" in September.

The Blacksand Executive Lodge, which provides accommodations to oilsands workers north of Fort McMurray, was destroyed by fire, Notley confirmed Tuesday. About 665 units were lost in the blaze.
