Land Acknowledgment
ServcoCanada recognizes that our offices and fabrication facilities are located on the traditional territories of Treaty 1, 4, 6, 8, and Haisla Nation lands. These are the ancestral homelands of many First Nations and Métis communities who have cared for these lands for generations. We are deeply grateful to the Knowledge Keepers and Elders—past and present—whose wisdom continues to guide us.
Commitment to Indigenous Engagement
ServcoCanada is dedicated to fostering meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities. Through partnerships and employment opportunities, we aim to support economic growth, capacity building, and cultural understanding within the regions where we work.
Our business spans construction and industrial services, including industrial turnarounds, site services, pipe and structural steel fabrication, scaffolding, electrical, millwrighting, and more. To enhance our work in Indigenous communities, we have formed partnerships with several First Nations groups across Canada.
ServcoCanada's approach is built around
