ATCO Sustainable Communities announced today that it has signed a
contract with Swan River First Nation near Slave Lake, Alberta to
build a 6,600 sq. ft. multi-purpose gymnasium and community centre.
The facility will be connected to the existing school for use in
physical education programs as well as community events for up to
200 people.
ATCO Sustainable Communities will be working with Wapsewsipi
Enterprises Ltd., Swan River First Nation's own construction
company, to prepare the area for construction. The project will
combine ATCO's pre-engineered and modular technologies with
completion scheduled for the beginning of December 2013; just in
time for a Christmas celebration to be held in the facility.
"This project is an excellent example of how ATCO can partner
with a community to utilize local trades and qualified members for
employment opportunities," said Boris Rassin, President, ATCO
Sustainable Communities. "By encouraging direct involvement of
Nation members and companies we find that a stronger community
connection to the project is developed and that leads to greater
project success."
"We look forward to working together with ATCO Sustainable
Communities," said Swan River Chief Leon Chalifoux. "The addition
of this facility will not only benefit our children, but will
provide a space where we can bring our people together and foster
the relationships within our community as a whole."
This is the second project awarded to ATCO Sustainable
Communities in the Treaty 8 territory. Late last year, Peerless
Trout First Nation awarded ATCO Sustainable Communities a
design-build contract for its new fire hall which is currently
being designed.
ATCO Sustainable Communities combines ATCO's modern construction
technologies with its long history of forming successful Aboriginal
partnerships to build facilities that reflect a community's
cultural values. By offering a turnkey solution with shorter
timelines and dedicated quality control throughout the
manufacturing process, the company can economically design and
build any facility a community may need, ranging from offices,
schools and daycare centres to residential housing, hockey arenas
and retail outlets.
