responsible for laying eight kilometers of
6-inch plastic and steel distribution gas
line. Prior to the pipeline, the community

“Most projects or contractors that come
into town, attempt to hire local First Nation
community members, however once the
project is finished, those jobs are gone.
That was not the case with A6N’s Walpole
project, we were able to retain the major-
ity of the workers and bring them along to
their next project.”
By creating meaningful employment that
instills pride, while offering the opportu-
nity to develop new business opportuni-
ties, A6N shows that working together for
a common goal creates comprehensive
expertise, knowledge and resources for a
wide range of utilities-related projects.
