Bruce Power has signed a supplier agreement with a new, locally-based, First Nation-owned joint business venture (JV) to provide construction services to Bruce Power, as part of the company’s ongoing investment program.
Makwa Development Corp., which is owned by Nawash residents Scott Lee and Shane Chegahno, has joined forces with Tron, a construction company based on Saskatchewan’s English River First Nation that brings extensive experience working in Canada’s nuclear sector. Tron and Makwa recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to create a fully First Nation-owned venture, with experience in the nuclear sector and a goal of maximizing employment of local Indigenous people.
The Makwa-Tron joint venture will provide Bruce Power with a variety of services during the Life-Extension Program.
The Makwa-Tron joint venture will provide community members with excellent jobs and give Bruce Power the skillsets required to advance the investment program.
