Thirty years ago, when Mikisew Group of Companies began providing industrial services to companies working in the Alberta oil sands, the goal was to generate employment for members of the Mikisew Cree First Nation (MCFN). At first, fewer than 10 workers performed janitorial tasks for Syncrude Canada; a little later, dozens more maintained the roads and grounds.
Mikisew Group expanded its services throughout the ’90s: equipment operation, mechanical repair, construction. It started working with more companies, like Suncor, Husky and Enbridge. It even struck up majority-owned partnerships with the goal of undertaking ventures specializing in everything from aircraft management to environmental monitoring to emergency response. Today, Mikisew Group is a major employer, providing roughly $9.5 million in wages for MCFN members between April 2020 and March 2021.
