work completed about two years ago on
a hydro transmission line from Kitimat to
the B.C. Golden Triangle area has allowed
some of the mines to get away from using
diesel power, which has the potential to in-
crease expansion in mining in the area.
“Our area was dramatically impacted,”
agrees Peltier. “As a resource-driven econ-
omy, we have seen a lot of ups and down
and have suffered along with those. It re-
quired a lot of due diligence and maintain-
ing a good perspective on the business,
and anticipating where the market was
going. The willingness and spirit of work-
ing with your customer one-on-one, being
focused and really drilling down to give a
supreme service has kept our customers
coming back—because of continuity and
expected level of service.”
RECREATIONAL TOURS

egy, in 2015 Peltier formed a partnership
with the Skeena Salmon Lodge. Located
approximately 23 km east of downtown
Terrace, in the summer the lodge operates
as Wild River Flyfishing, offering guided
salmon fishing on some of the world’s
best rivers and coastal inlets. And in the
winter, the lodge operates as White Wil-
derness Heli-skiing with tenures starting
