Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s recent visit to the Makwa-Cahill fabrication facility marked a historic moment for Indigenous-led initiatives in the energy sector. As the first nuclear-qualified Indigenous fabrication centre in the region, Makwa-Cahill embodies resilience, collaboration, and economic empowerment.

Premier Ford expressed support for the partnership and its benefits. He highlighted the importance of training and development opportunities for skilled tradespeople in the region’s nuclear industry. The Premier also congratulated Makwa-Cahill on their successes, emphasizing the positive impact of the facility on local families and communities.


Thank you to Premier Ford for taking the time to tour our facility, learn about our business and meet members of our team.
