PAUL’S RIVER, QUE.—Steel River Group is expanding into Quebec.
The Indigenous-owned diversified management, development and construction consortium, announced the establishment of a new Quebec-based corporation, Le Groupe Rivières. The company’s operations will be centralized in the Lower North Shore area, where several members of the Steel River team are originally from.
In a press release, Steel River Group explained Le Groupe Rivières is a general construction and contracting company with a focus on civil, residential development and renovations.
The company believes it will create local work for the many residents of the Lower North Shore who travel to other provinces to find construction work.
“As a company, I’ve long been working to establish a presence on the Lower North Shore, looking for opportunities to enhance and give back to our home region,” said Trent Fequet, founder and CEO of Steel River Group, in a statement. “The development of a Quebec-based corporation, one with an entirely local focus, is the natural next step in this journey. By empowering the region to stay local and hire local, we can help create sustainable economic opportunities for generations to come.”
Through Le Groupe Rivières, Steel River will also look to engage with the Lower North Shore community through key local groups to support the region.
Chad Keats, a St. Paul’s River resident and 20-year construction veteran, has been appointed general manager of Le Groupe Rivières.
Steel River is based in Alberta.
