For immediate release:

Formation of Pikwakanagan-Sullivan Construction

The Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation’s economic development entity, AOPFN Limited Partnership (AOPFN LP) and M. Sullivan and Son Limited (Sullivan) are pleased to announce that they are in the process of forming the Pikwakanagan-Sullivan Construction entity to pursue construction-related project opportunities across Eastern Ontario. The AOPFN LP will be the majority owner of this newly formed entity.

Pikwakanagan-Sullivan Construction will allow for the partners to respond to opportunities for a variety of general contracting and construction work in support of supplier diversity initiatives by CNL, OPG, DND, PSPC, and others. To conduct work in these markets, Pikwakanagan-Sullivan Construction will primarily draw upon its established connections in local communities with plans to utilize Sullivan’s deep experience to provide training and capacity development throughout the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation’s vast territory.

Both Parties are proud and excited to begin this new venture with the community whose territories we work and live in. We collectively look forward to creating involvement in projects within the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin People.

This project was completed during the height of the Covid 19 pandemic and took a considerable amount of pre-planning and coordination inside the operational hospital.

Infection control was considered a distinct project within the primary guardrail project itself as safety was always the primary concern in addition to the work.

Specially designed Frit Glass Panels and Metal Panels were installed throughout the hospital to form a long mural that illustrates the 4 seasons. Additional curtainwall was also installed.

As the previous layout of the hospital was an open concept from the basement to the third-floor level above this new installation is a much safer design that is also aesthetically beautiful.

“One of our focuses is expanding and maximizing the production of clean, green power here in Ontario on the mighty Madawaska that was 100 years old,” he said. “We’re now replacing it with something that is technologically modern. In visiting this site today, I’m seeing something that is quite remarkable, more than I had expected.”

The new generating station is expected to have a service life of 90 to 100 years.

OPG is the largest electricity generator in the province, providing almost half of the power Ontarians rely on every day. They have been operating in eastern Ontario for more than 100 years. Today, they have one thermal facility and 10 hydroelectric generating stations on the St. Lawrence, Ottawa, and Madawaska Rivers.

The suite of 3 incredible mass timber buildings being completed by the Sullivan-Chandos Joint Venture and Integrated Project Delivery Team recently achieved the Mass Timber Complete Milestone AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!

The construction wood was grown, harvested, designed, and manufactured in Canada and is used as the main structural material. In constructing the new buildings, CNL received $4.33 million in financial support from Green Construction through Wood (GCWood), a program administered by Natural Resources Canada to increase the use of wood in infrastructure projects as a sustainable construction material.

Environmentally conscious construction is important to us as our families live in the local communities we work in. We want to do all we can to preserve the environment for future generations as we help to create the revitalized campus at CNL.
