Known as Ka w\u00eecehtohk, <em>pronounced \u201cKa Wee Chee Tolk,\u201d Cree for \u201cUnited,\u201d<\/em> the new joint venture will ensure community involvement through skills development, training and employment opportunities for Whitefish Lake First Nation members as well as workforce support for Brand Energy Solutions. Although this legal agreement is new, the two groups have worked together for close to two decades. Whitefish Lake First Nation #128 is BrandSafway\u2019s longest standing Indigenous partner. (BrandSafway is the parent company of Brand Energy Solutions.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new joint venture agreement with Brand Energy expands upon our solid relationship that has been 17 years in the making,\u201d said Tom Jackson, CEO, Goodfish Lake Business Corporation. \u201cOur partnership is strong, as our relationship was created on the foundation of honesty, respect and a sincere desire to form a partnership that provides economic prosperity for all parties. This new agreement brings together two organizations with a shared vision to provide safe execution of services for our customers in the maintenance, turnaround and construction industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed to ensuring these mutually beneficial relationships are built on trust, understanding and respect,\u201d added Norm Mitchell, regional vice president of Brand Energy Solutions. \u201cBuilding and sustaining relationships with Indigenous people is critical to our business. This joint venture agreement furthers our continued support of one another for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brand Energy\u2019s relationship with the Whitefish Lake First Nation #128 started with an initial collaboration for a pre-employment scaffold training program. \u201cSince then, our two teams have held an annual training course with a focus on scaffolding,\u201d said Mitchell. \u201cAs a result, approximately 200 Whitefish Lake First Nation members have participated in the training course, building long-term skills. This training has contributed to the increase of an Indigenous workforce in Alberta\u2019s scaffolding trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6><strong>About Whitefish Lake First Nation#128 <\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Whitefish Lake First Nation #128 is a Cree community discovering its potential.
