Bird Construction Inc. has entered into a strategic partnership with Marten Falls First Nation to work collaboratively on infrastructure projects within the community and across the nation’s traditional territory

The goal of the Piinahzii Limited Partnership is to pursue community infrastructure opportunities that support both near-term needs and longer-term development objectives.

The parties will work together to align planning, delivery, and local participation in a manner that reflects community values and supports sustainable outcomes.

The partnership is also emphasizing community readiness and capacity building. This includes strengthening local delivery capabilities, supporting workforce development, and creating pathways for Marten Falls members and Indigenous-owned businesses to participate through employment, training, and subcontracting opportunities as projects advance.

“For years we have worked diligently to advance our community priorities,” said Chief Bruce Achneepineskum of Marten Falls First Nation. “This partnership supports our commitment to building community infrastructure while advancing community readiness priorities that help our community prepare for the opportunities ahead. We have always said that building infrastructure must go hand in hand with building our people, our businesses, and our capacity. This partnership reflects that vision.”

In connection with entering into the partnership and related agreements, Bird has agreed to issue approximately 20,000 common shares to Ozhiitaah, LP, a Marten Falls First Nation development group and Bird’s partner in the partnership.
