We understand the need to not only provide employment opportunities to local people but also to local aboriginals and we are familiar with the native communities of Fort Chipewyan, Fort MacKay, Fort McMurray, Gregoire Lake and Janvier. It is our commitment to work with the owners and local communities to provide opportunities either directly through employment or indirectly via sub-contract.
