Sask. First Nations company signs agreement with Ontario-based nuclear company
A new agreement could help bring more jobs to a First Nations community in northern Saskatchewan.
Ontario-based Bruce Power has signed a supplier agreement with the owners of the Makwa Development Corporation and Tron, a construction company based on the English River First Nation.
Under the terms of the agreement, the joint venture will help provide Bruce Power with a number of services as part of its ongoing investment program. Tron’s experience ranges from infrastructure and utilities construction to electrical and instrumentation installation, as well as vessel fabrication.
“Bruce Power is committed to developing wealth-creation solutions for Indigenous peoples on a number of fronts, and these types of business partnerships are a key element to achieving this,” Bruce Power’s President and CEO Mike Rencheck said in a statement. “The MAKWA-Tron joint venture will provide community members with excellent jobs and give Bruce Power the skillsets we require to advance our investment program.”
