PARTNERSHIPS
KNRLP is dedicated to finding opportunities that benefit both Kwadacha Nation and its members. We achieve this goal by partnering with businesses that recognize and support our goals to build a brighter future for the Nation.
FORMULA CONTRACTORS LTD.
In 2020, Kwadacha First Nation and Formula Contracting came together to form a mutual benefit agreement to capitalize on business and procurement opportunities both within and outside of the Kwadacha Traditional Territory. This agreement supports Kwadacha members through training and employment opportunities and Kwadacha’s businesses by bringing contracting opportunities.
Formula Contractors Ltd are committed to maintaining strong and healthy relationships with the Indigenous Peoples on whose traditional lands they often work. As such, Formula has developed solid partnerships with several First Nations. Together, they pursue long-term, sustainable engineering solutions that respect the surrounding culture and environment.
DUZ CHO CONSTRUCTION LTD.
We have a collaborative working relationship with Duz Cho, and this has allowed KNRLP to acquire equipment and work together to participate in the Portage Mountain Quarry.
Duz Cho’s core business has always been heavy earthworks, priding ourselves on the ability to move the largest amount of material in the least amount of time. Their team has many years of experience in working in all types of soil and weather conditions, maximizing efficiencies, minimizing costs, and above all doing it safely. Although they started in the oil and gas sector, they have always strived to be proactive on the ever-changing economy, anticipating changes and switching to other sectors has kept Duz Cho a strong and vibrant company while others have declined or fell by the wayside.
SPECTRUM RESOURCE GROUP INC.
Spectrum Resource Group is an integrated vegetation management solutions provider with expertise in vegetation management, forest management, and reforestation in forestry, oil and gas, utility, and community resource industries across Canada.
They are a privately held company that has been in business since 1986. Over their many years in operation, they have distinguished themselves from their competitors by developing a highly educated workforce of professionals who use their years of experience in the field to deliver an interdisciplinary approach to vegetation management.
DWB ENVIRONMENTAL
DWB provides a wide variety of environmental services, either as stand-alone services, or as part of larger engineering or forestry programs.
DWB has diverse corporate and staff experience in environmental regulatory processes, impact assessments, classification, delineation and inventory projects, reclamation and rehabilitation, mitigation and off-set planning, environmental construction monitoring, auditing, and inspecting, and research design and implementation projects. The DWB Environmental Department has successfully completed a wide array of projects for clients in all sectors, from small, simple assessments to multi-year, multi-million-dollar infrastructure projects.
DUNKLEY LUMBER
