Construction is one of the several industries that the English River First Nation has targeted to bring increased employment and economic independence. We are aggressive in seeking new opportunities for our band members and Tron Power has given us the advantage to profit from this industry. Tron Power is a reputable company that has secured a variety of contracts with mining companies and our band prospers from this.

By purchasing Tron Power in 1997, we gained the business expertise of a major supplier to the mining industry while the company substantially increased its employee base.

The most obvious benefit in the venture is the employment opportunities for our band members. We now have access to training and apprenticeship programs that result in skilled trades people not dependant on one industry or seasonal employment for survival. Graduates of these programs are positive role models in the community.

We are confident that we will see continued profits reinvested in our community as a result if our involvement with Tron Power Inc.
