| SNC-Lavalin, Cementation Canada and The Morris Group to launch FNMC SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC), in partnership with Cementation Canada Inc., the Morris Group Limited, Flying Post First Nation, Lac Seul First Nation, Mattagami First Nation and Wahgoshig First Nation, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the intent to capitalize the First Nations Mining Corporation (FNMC). FNMC will form joint venture partnerships with local Aboriginal communities to promote, develop and carry out engineering, construction, environmental and other services for mining companies in Ontario throughout the project life cycle. FNMC will also work to strengthen ties between Aboriginal communities and mining companies in order to facilitate the training and hiring of Aboriginals and the procurement of goods and services from Aboriginal suppliers. FNMC will be focused on helping First Nations communities enhance their understanding of the mining industry, identify opportunities, build capacity and develop their own First Nations companies to support mining projects. FNMC will also facilitate Aboriginal employment by developing programs to provide training, certification and upgrade skills. With this agreement, FNMC will offer a competitive Aboriginal-owned alternative for the design, construction and operation of mining projects, while helping mining companies obtain social licenses to operate throughout the province. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Construction News :: home page |
