On the ancestral territory of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation in Mashteuiatsh in Quebec, our collaboration with is bringing 12 permanent local jobs, new skills and economic opportunities to the community.
Inside the Sciages GP sawmill, the scent of freshly cut wood fills the workshop. Upstairs, workers create specialised wood pieces with precision. Downstairs, an industrial workspace designed with a focus on safety and rigour, and filled with pride. In the centre, the people of the Pekuakami.
The partnership with Sciages GP began with a simple need. We needed wooden skids to transport aluminium ingots from our operations around the world. As the contract with another supplier was ending, our journey to fill that need led to Sciages GP, an Indigenous-owned company that produces wood products with responsible resource use.
“Each job created represents a story of pride and autonomy within our community,” Pascal, co-founder of Sciages GP, says.

Sciages GP’s unique approach and flexibility inherent to its business model, allows the sawmill to respond to the market demands for unusual wood pieces. In turn, continuing the company’s development.
“By uniting our strengths and values, we become agents of change capable of developing joint projects that benefit both the communities and us,” Sabrina, Director, Relations with First Nations, Social Investments and Regional Economic Development, says.
“We’re proud to move forward together to create value in the community.”
