ATCO Structures & Logistics has signed a joint-venture
agreement with Sakku Investments Corporation, the development arm
of the Kivalliq Inuit Association (KIA). The partners have created
a new company, Sakku ATCO Buildings & Services, to pursue
resource development activities and infrastructure construction in
the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut. The agreement was signed in
Vancouver during a ceremony at the Mineral Exploration Roundup, the
world's premier technical mineral exploration conference.
"ATCO's partnership with Sakku is a tremendous opportunity for
both companies," said Boris Rassin, Executive Vice President,
Business Development, ATCO Structures & Logistics. "Together we
will offer economical infrastructure solutions to the companies
developing Canada's North, while working to create long-term
business and employment opportunities for the Inuit people."
Sakku is a for-profit organization owned by KIA. Under the
Nunavut Land Claim Agreement, KIA is a designated Inuit
organization with significant responsibilities for land claim
implementation.
"Mining activity in our territory must benefit the Inuit
people," said Patrick Tagoona, President & Chief Executive
Officer, Sakku Investments Corporation. "Our partnership with ATCO,
which has more than 60 years experience in the construction and
operation of workforce camps, will provide Sakku with an
opportunity to share in the wealth of our land while providing
necessary services to the mining industry."
ATCO's expertise in power and utilities development, workforce
housing, steel industrial buildings and modular infrastructure is
needed in the North, where the construction season is short and
skilled labour scarce.

services and industrial noise control solutions worldwide. With

expertise to deliver a rapid, turnkey solution anywhere it is
needed. To learn more, visit www.atcosl.com.
