“On behalf of Enbridge, we are pleased to provide a letter of recognition to First Alliance Group of Companies for its participation on the Line 3 Replacement (L3R) Project.
During construction, the First Alliance Group of Companies provided key services across several disciplines which contributed significantly to the success of the L3R project. In addition, through a labor brokering agreement, First Alliance Group of Companies provided over 200 skilled workers for the project that, together with other Indigenous businesses and communities, helped Enbridge achieve a milestone goal for L3R with Indigenous participation of over 20% of the entire workforce that were involved in the project.
Enbridge appreciates First Alliance Group of Companies professional approach to business development and the way First Alliance Group of Companies continues to work with our company. We look forward to continuing our business relationship with First Alliance Group of Companies and Battlefords Agency Tribal Council for engagement in future opportunities as they arise.”

“I am would like to thank the First Alliance Group of Companies for the exemplary service that they provided for Corrpro, on our recently completed project, for the Saskatchewan Power Corp. The contracted services were largely civil in nature, where First Alliance provided labour, equipment and some materials. The activities involved were landscaping, grading, backfill and some soil remediation. The team was reliable, collaborative, capable, diligent and resourceful. There was great communication with our crews and a high level of safety awareness and performance. The leadership was also respectful of landowners, community and the environment (relative to our project requirements). I can definitely say that the First Alliance team was instrumental to the overall success of the project. Corrpro looks forward to working with the First Alliance Group on the next suitable project opportunity.”
