Dowland s knowledge and first-hand experience working with Aboriginal groups for 30 years is an added benefit. This new venture gives our people the opportunity to participate in these exciting areas, by gaining valuable experience and industry specific training that will lead to certification, and provide lifelong careers in the heavy construction industry."

From the training opportunities and apprenticeship programs from this relationship will flow long-term and significant benefits to local First Nation communities. Wasaya Dowland Contracting will undertake large construction initiatives throughout industrial, institutional and commercial sectors. The company will be available to serve the Ring of Fire region should they require our industrial capacity. McGuiness added that "Dowland has 20 years of experience completing large scale mining projects for best in class companies throughout Canada."
