collaboration
It’s a ledcor core value. THAT’S WHY WE TREAT EVERY
JOB LIKE IT’S THE START OF SOMETHING BIGGER.
From our first day in business, we’ve believed that projects are
about more than concrete and steel. We’ve known they’re about
people and the power of collaboration.
Our focus on building lasting relationships inspires everything we
do, just like it has for decades.
Our first example reaches all the way back to 1947, to the start of
the oil industry in Alberta. We worked with Imperial Oil to prepare
the access road and site for the Leduc No. 1 oil well. Over 65 years
later, our relationship remains strong.
And that is just one of many.
There are plenty of factors that have gone into the success of these
relationships. Service. Quality. Safety. Innovation. Trust. But none
of these would be possible without a commitment to collaboration.
We believe that true collaboration is the place where Ledcor’s
interests and our clients’ interests are one and the same. That’s
exactly what we aim to show you in this issue of The Globe.
Sincerely,
Dave Lede
Chairman & CEO

collaboration
it’s a ledcor core value. THAT’S WHY WE TREAT EVERY
JOB LIKE IT’S THE START OF SOMETHING BIGGER.
We know that every single one of our projects depends on close collaboration — with
our clients, with our vendors, and with the communities where we live and work.
So why not treat every job, even the smallest one, like it’s the first step of
something much bigger?
We’re serious about building relationships that stand the test of time. Whether
it’s a joint venture. A lifetime client. A strategic partnership. Or a long-term
commitment to a community. We’ve always believed that solid relationships,
trust, and collaboration are how greatness gets built.
In this issue of The Globe, we’re taking a look at four featured projects where
relationships make all of the difference. Each is unique. But all four of them
are taking us, and our clients, forward.

Site of Chevron / Apache
Kitmat LNG Project
COMMUNITY Partnership
HAISLA & kitimat LNG
Kitimat, british columbia.
In British Columbia’s North Coast
region, a long-standing partnership
between Ledcor and the Haisla First
Nation is assisting co-venturers
Chevron and Apache in becoming
frontrunners in delivering liquefied
4
natural gas (LNG) to Asia-Pacific
markets.
The Kitimat LNG facility will be built
on the traditional territory of the
Haisla, leased under a unique benefit
agreement with the community.
As a part of that agreement, the
Ledcor-Haisla Limited Partnership
(LHLP) is providing extensive
construction services, including
site-capture work and a major
upgrade to 13 kilometers (eight
miles) of access road.
But LHLP is not just a standard
joint venture.
Ledcor’s relationship with the Haisla
reaches back to 2010, pre-dating the
arrival of the Kitimat LNG project
or any specific opportunities in the
region. Ledcor reached out, and
found that the Haisla themselves
were also looking for partners in a
number of different sectors.
PARTNERSHIP MEETS
MANY NEEDS
By June 2011, the limited partnership
had become a reality, with an initial
focus on providing civil construction
services on Haisla traditional territory.
Ledcor’s diversity was one of the
factors that made the decision
to create LHLP an easy one. That
diversity would allow the Haisla to
have just one partner, minimizing
relationship management between
many different partners.
“The joint venture partnership
with Ledcor has brought incredible
diversity and opportunity to the
Haisla Nation. We have seen great
commitment at all levels of Ledcor’s
organization. It is partnerships
like this that the Haisla use as
a benchmark for others seeking
business relationships with the
Nation,” said Matthew Clayton,
Haisla Economic Development.
From Ledcor’s perspective, the Haisla
offered an unequalled knowledge
of the local territory, including an
awareness of the environmental
sensitivities there, as well as
advanced knowledge of business
opportunities in the region.
SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY
One unique aspect of the
partnership is its ongoing focus on
job-skills training, mentorship, and
other forms of capacity building
within the local community.
The focus on training and capacity
building is creating long-term
benefits for everyone involved. Ledcor
benefits by having access to a local
trainable workforce. For the Haisla,
local employment means dollars
that stay in the community, and the
employment created today will set
the stage for the future generations.
Work at the Kitimat LNG site is
ongoing, and the access road is now
complete thanks to a peak workforce
of 350. Meanwhile, the LHLP has
expanded into other sectors beyond
civil construction, including pipelines
and industrial construction, as
well as air transportation services
in cooperation with Ledcor’s
Summit Air.

LIFETIME CLIENT
SHELL CANADa SAND CELL 2
FORT MCMURRAY, ALBERTA. At Shell
Canada’s Jackpine oil sands operation
in northern Alberta, Ledcor is nearing
completion on a massive earthworks
project dubbed Sand Cell 2.
Started in February 2012, the project
is designed to dramatically increase
the mine’s capacity to store waste
water from bitumen extraction.
The original tailings pond — Sand
Cell 1 — has been reaching capacity,
and to guarantee the continuity of
operations, Shell needed to expand
the pond.
Ledcor’s scope has included the
construction of starter dykes,
berms, roads, and culvert crossings,
as well as other major earthworks
such as the excavation of a nine km
(5.5 mi) perimeter ditch around the
new tailings pond. The starter dykes
will serve as foundation for Shell’s
mining team, who will ultimately
build out the final full-scale dykes
in the course of normal mine
operations.
The scale of the project can’t be
ignored. To date, Ledcor has moved
over 7.5 million m3 (265 million ft 3) of
material for the project, not including
reclamation material. Working in
close coordination with Ledcor, Shell
teams were also heavily involved
with the earthworks and moved
even larger volumes of material in
several stages.
Latest stage in relationship
Ledcor’s relationship with Shell
in northern Alberta goes back
many years.
6
In terms of recent history, the two
companies have been working
together steadily on earthworks
projects since 2010, including the
Sharkbite and Canterra roadbypass projects.
Originally, Sand Cell 2 was scheduled
for completion in September 2014.
Over the winter, Shell decided
that they needed to accelerate
the project to allow them to start
pouring tailings as early as spring.
A large part of this has been
the two companies’ shared
commitments to safety and
quality. Safety is one of Ledcor’s
core values, and it is the first thing
that Shell looks for when hiring
subcontractors.
Ledcor worked closely with Shell to
accomplish this, changing priorities
to complete some areas sooner.
The team successfully finished
the interior of the structure and
officially handed over the area well
ahead of schedule on April 1, 2014.
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
AVRO RJ85 LOGISTICS PROGRAM
YELLOWKNIFE, NORTHWEST
TERRITORIES. In close cooperation
with Det’on Cho Logistics and
First Air, Ledcor’s Summit Air has
launched a new program to meet
the transportation needs of Diavik
Diamond Mine in Canada’s North.
The Avro RJ85 program
will ultimately mean more
transportation flexibility and
passenger capacity for industries
operating throughout the region.
Capable of operations on gravel
runways, the Avro RJ85 is able
to move 90 passengers to and
from remote locations, so its
introduction to Summit’s fleet will
mean a significant expansion of our
service offering.
As a part of the Ledcor Group of
Companies, Summit specializes in
tailor-made aviation solutions for
government and corporate clients,
and has earned a reputation for
northern expertise in safety and
reliability. Their fleet of helicopters
and fixed-wing aircraft is based in
Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon,
and the Northwest Territories.
Critical to the new program is
Summit’s close relationship
with Det’on Cho Logistics. The
Yellowknife-based company
will manage all of the support
services — from security to freight
handling — for personnel travelling
to the Diavik Diamond Mine from
Edmonton, Alberta.
Relationship has
deep roots
As a part of the aboriginal-owned
Det’on Cho Corporation, Det’on Cho
Logistics provides a range of cargo
and passenger support services to
the northern resource development
industry. Their depth of expertise and
knowledge in the region has made
them an obvious partner for Summit.
The two companies have worked
together for quite some time, but
it’s only in the last two years that
we have formalized our strategic
partnership.
The strength of this relationship can
be attributed many possible things,
from safety to customer service. But
all of these ultimately come down
to the trust we have in one another,
which we are always careful to
support with frank dialogue and open
sharing of information.
In the end, it’s our northern clients
who will benefit the most from that
trust. The new program will prove to
be a boon to the region as a whole,
which now has a one-stop-shop
for northern aviation and logistics,
backed by companies that are
experts in their core businesses.

Joint venture
Ledcor and Balfour
Beatty building Acute
Care CentER
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Working alongside our partner
Balfour Beatty, Ledcor has finalized
an agreement to build and operate
a new Vancouver-area acute care
center dedicated to the health of
women and children.
When the facility opens in 2017, the
Teck Acute Care Centre will house
facilities for both the BC Children’s
Hospital and the BC Women’s
Hospital + Health Centre.
8
The Affinity Partnerships
consortium, led by Balfour Beatty
and Ledcor, was selected for the
$350 million redevelopment project
in early 2014 after a nine-month
competition. The public-private
partnership (P3) agreement with
the Province of British Columbia
and the Provincial Health Services
Authority was finalized in April.
Our scope includes the design,
construction, financing, and long-
term facilities management of
the hospital.
Beginnings of a new
relationship
The relationship with Balfour
Beatty started in 2010. That’s when
the international infrastructure
group took notice of the project in
Vancouver, and knew that it was a
perfect fit with their portfolio.
After diligent research, Balfour
Beatty approached Ledcor to
partner on the project. Immediately
we saw cultural similarities,
especially their focus on safety. It
was shortly thereafter that Affinity
Partnerships was formed.
Competing against six consortiums
on an RFQ was a challenge, but
Balfour Beatty’s international P3
expertise combined with Ledcor’s
depth of respect and experience in
BC made for a winning combinationone that will benefit the province
for many years in the future.
It is for this reason that we
anticipate a long term relationship
between Ledcor and Balfour Beatty.
Public-Private Partnerships are
expected to be the preferred
procurement model for many
projects in BC and across Canada
in the future. This project is an
excellent stepping stone for the
relationship with Balfour Beatty to
continue into future projects.
State-of-the-art
healthcare
The new eight-story Teck Acute
Care Centre will be designed to
LEED® Gold standard.
Its 59,400 m2 (640,000 ft 2) of space
will house a whole range of pediatric
and maternity units. It includes
medical/surgical inpatient units,
an emergency department, medical
imaging and procedural suites, a
hematology/oncology department,
and a pediatric intensive care unit
for BC Children’s Hospital. There will
also be a high-risk labor and delivery
suite and a new neonatal intensive
care unit for BC Women’s Hospital +
Health Centre.
BC Children’s Hospital provides care
for the most seriously ill or injured
children and youth from across the
province, and is a leading teaching
and research facility.
BC Women’s Hospital + Health
Centre is the only facility in BC
devoted primarily to the health of
women, newborns, and families,
and is one of Canada’s largest and
busiest maternity hospitals.
Construction is scheduled to begin
in fall 2014.

v Mountain
Pipeline Project
TransCanada Corporation
FORT MCMURRAY, ALBERTA. In 2013, TransCanada
engaged Ledcor as the exclusive pipeline construction
provider for its 450 km (279.6 mi) Grand Rapids Pipeline
Project, forming the 11 Phase Alliance Agreement.
In March of 2014, we wrapped up construction on the
69 km (42.8 mi) Stony Mountain Pipeline, the first phase
of the project.
Constructing the pipeline during the winter on muskeg
terrain made for some of the toughest conditions
we have ever worked in. To maximize efficiency, our
10
subsidiary Summit Air flew our workforce in and out.
Adapting to change throughout the project made
it possible to finish on schedule with an excellent
safety record.
After 25 years of partnership, TransCanada is a Ledcor
Lifetime Client. The strength of our partnership
lies in a true alignment of core company values. Our
mutual trust, combined with common goals, enables
us to successfully partner on long-term projects such
as this one.
Oil & GAS
PE1 Expansion Project
NOVA Chemicals
JOFFRE, ALBERTA. Since ground-breaking in June of
2013, Ledcor has been constructing the Polyethylene 1
(PE1) Expansion Project for our client, NOVA Chemicals.
With the addition of a third reactor, the expansion will
increase polyethylene capacity at the Joffre, Alberta
complex by approximately 40 percent upon completion
in 2016. This is a modest derivation expansion, largely
integrated into the facility’s existing footprint.
Onsite construction currently involves piling,
earthworks, concrete foundations, and structural steel.
Offsite fabrication of pipes and pipe rack modules is also
taking place at our fabrication facility in Nisku, Alberta.
The modules are transported from our Nisku facility
via the Alberta heavy load corridor. Upon reaching the
entrance to the site, they travel through the site’s
operating rail yard to gain access to the project site.
Since the Joffre facility is fully operational during
construction, coordination with NOVA Chemicals
has been fundamental to optimizing our work while
minimizing plant interference and community
disruption. Following a protocol for permitted work and
educating our workforce about the hazards associated
with an operating plant has ensured construction
progresses safely and productively.

WESTIN MAUI HOTEL
RENOVATION
STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS
MAUI, HAWAII. The Beach Tower of Westin’s 759-room
resort on famed Ka’anapali Beach remained open and
fully operational while we completed a floor-by-floor
renovation of all guest rooms.
We completely refreshed all interior spaces under
carefully monitored conditions. To maintain the quality
of experience that guests expect from the Westin Maui
12
resort, work took place within strict schedules and our
workers used specially-built exterior lifts to directly
access each floor.
Completed in early 2014, work progressed smoothly
and guests enjoyed the newly-enhanced guestrooms
as the project was completed in 17 different phases,
all completed on time.
BUILDING
las vegas, nevada. Ledcor has been contracted to
construct two new academic buildings for Nevada State
College (NSC) as part of a project to triple the size of the
campus. As the Construction Manager at Risk, we are
working closely with NSC and project architect PGAL.
Groundbreaking for the project occurred on January 16,
2014, and more than 100 people, including students, NSC
President Bart Patterson, and Governor Brian Sandoval,
were in attendance.
True partnership is paramount to the success of this
project. From the start, we’ve worked with NSC toward
a common goal: to build a campus that gives the
student population (nearly 40 percent of which are
first-generation college students) the best learning
environment possible.
Days Inn and Suites
Optimus Hotels
YORKTON, SASKATCHEWAN. In 2011,
Optimus Hotels contracted Ledcor
to build the 4088 m2 (44,000 ft 2)
Days Inn and Suites in Yorkton,
Saskatchewan. After only 12 months
of construction, the hotel opened
in March of 2013 and was recently
named the New Property of the Year
for 2013 by Days Inn Canada.
Completed on schedule and under
budget, the 74-room, three-floor
hotel includes two conference
rooms, a lobby and breakfast area,
and fitness and pool facilities.
We worked closely with Optimus
Hotels to develop cost saving
solutions that did not compromise
on quality. We’ve since partnered
on additional projects.
“Customers and trades consistently
mentioned the value they put
on relationships with the Ledcor
team,” says Steve Whelan,
President of Optimus Hotels.
“Those relationships were evident
during the project, which was
owned at every level with each
stakeholder treated as a partner,
fully accountable to ensure the
project’s success.”

VANCOUVER INternational
AIRPORT EXPANSION
Vancouver international airport AUTHORITY
RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA. When we started
working with Vancouver Airport Authority (YVR) in 1995,
we had no idea the parkade project would develop into
a 20-year partnership spanning over 200 projects. As
one of YVR’s preferred construction companies, we look
forward to our continued success working with YVR as it
implements its long-term expansion plan.
“Ledcor has been a valued partner in the development
of YVR over the years,” said Don Ehrenholz, YVR’s
14
Vice President of Engineering. “The collaboration
of our respective expertise combined with Ledcor’s
working knowledge of our business has resulted in
a high-quality terminal building that has won YVR
international recognition from our customers and
industry partners alike.”
Today, we are working on our largest project to
date with YVR: the $146-million A-B Connector
project. This project involves demolishing one of

the oldest remaining parts of the original 1968-era
domestic terminal and building a new four-level
expanded facility.
FORT McMURRAY, ALBERTA. Ledcor has been
constructing the new terminal at the Fort McMurray
International Airport since receiving the contract in
2011. Opening June 9, 2014, the 15,000 m3 (529,725 ft 3),
three-level Air Terminal Building will be five times
larger than the current building and will handle up
to 1.5 million passengers.
The 27,500 m2 (2,960,100 ft 2) A-B Connector
facility relocates and upgrades four gates, adds
one new gate and an expanded concourse. The new
expansion also provides added retail outlets and
restaurants, a smooth transition space for arriving
and departing domestic passengers and direct
connections to and from the International Terminal.
We’ve integrated new wood technology called Cross
Laminated Timber (panels made largely from reclaimed
pine) into the roof structure and 73 percent of
construction waste has been recycled or diverted from
landfill. To reflect the region’s uniqueness, architectural
elements, including metal panels, stone and glass, have
been incorporated into the design.
As with any long-term client, this partnership
is built on trust. We are committed to the best
interests of the airport and strive to deliver projects
ahead of schedule and below budget. We work
together toward a common goal: building a worldclass facility that will instill pride in everyone.
The Grand Opening Gala took place on May 31, and
we were honored to be the Presenting Sponsor
for the event.

WILD ROSE BREWERY LTD.
CALGARY, ALBERTA. The Wild Rose Brewery project is
a perfect example of Ledcor’s collaborative abilities.
When we were asked to manage construction of the new
brewery in Calgary, Alberta, the lease on the existing
facility was set to expire within the year. The project
was still in the design phase, so we knew we were
dealing with a tight schedule.
Efficiency, planning, and communication were all
fundamental to the success of this project, which,
according to Bill McKenzie, Wild Rose Brewery President
CEO, “wouldn’t have been built on schedule or budget
without the Ledcor team.”

Ivanhoe Cambridge
SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA. Since May of 2010, Ledcor
has been working with our construction partner and
longtime client, Ivanhoe Cambridge, on a complete
redevelopment of the Guildford Town Centre. This
two-phase project is one of the largest shopping center
redevelopments in Canada.
The project is currently in the final stages of Phase
Two, a 37,626 m2 (405,000 ft2) expansion adding 75
stores and a food court to the existing center. Phase one
involved construction of a Walmart Supercentre with
rooftop parking and a two-level parkade.

mining
Young Davidson Mine
AURICO GOLD INC.
MATACHEWAN, ONTARIO. What started as a barren rocky
landscape of Canadian Shield has been transformed
into an impressive open pit mine. The success of the
operation is contributed to hard work and collaboration
with the client, AuRico Gold. The Ledcor team began
operations in October of 2012 at the Young Davidson
Gold Mine, and since that time, over 615,000 man hours
have passed with a TRIF of 0.97, including several
successful gold flag audits. This achievement not
only impressed the client, but also demonstrates the
successful development of a site safety culture in an
environment that has a wide variety of hazards.
18
When Ledcor started work for AuRico Gold, the mine
was still in the development stage. Since that time,
AuRico Gold has reached commercial production
and invested significant capital in the mine, all of
which would not have been possible without Ledcor’s
production from the open pit portion of the mine.
To date, over 24 million tonnes have been hauled from
the open pit. After processing at the mill on site, this
resulted in 223,149 troy ounces of gold.
properties
Ledcor and Qualico
Developments
Ledcor properties
NORTH AMERICA. Ledcor has partnered with Qualico
for nearly two decades involving 10 different property
development projects. These projects include
apartments, office buildings, and shopping centers.
Together, we are currently developing 1,300 apartment
units and 69,677 m2 (750,000 ft 2) of suburban office
space in Texas and California.
The success of this long standing relationship is built on
shared values. Similar to Ledcor, Qualico is a privately
owned company started over 60 years ago in the
Canadian prairies. Both companies follow a corporate
philosophy that emphasizes safety, sustainability,
integrity, and a strong work ethic.
Typically, the Ledcor-Qualico partnerships are based on
50/50 ownership, shared responsibilities and decision
making, and equally shared risk and reward. This ensures
that both parties are fully aligned over the course of
each project.
Our involvement with Qualico is our longest standing
partnering relationship. The mutual respect and
trust shared by the companies allow us to efficiently
make decisions and invest in projects together.
We look forward to continued success with Qualico
as our partner.

communications
Bowen Island
Submarine CABLE Lay
Shaw Communications
BOWEN ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA. Ledcor has provided
our client Shaw Communications with fiber optic
installation services across various projects. Over time,
our relationship has evolved from contractor to trusted
partner, and we are now their preferred company for
submarine cable installation.
Last year, Shaw reached out to us seeking a costeffective solution to establishing connectivity with
the Gulf and Bowen Islands. After detailed site and
marine surveys, we recommended submarine cable
landing sites. In the Gulf Islands, installation of two
20
cable systems will connect Mayne, Galiano, and North
Pender Islands. A third system will run between Bowen
Island and West Vancouver on BC’s mainland. While the
project is still in permitting and development stages,
we anticipate work will start in mid-2014.
By delivering honest, quality work while emphasizing
safety, we’ve established a level of trust in our
relationship with Shaw. Confidence in the partnership
has facilitated mutually beneficial collaboration and
contributes to project success.

Richmond, british columbia. Ledcor has a well-
established, customer-supplier partnership with
Mainland Sand and Gravel, our go-to supplier of
construction aggregate in Vancouver. Recently, the
partnership extended into another arm of Ledcor when
Mainland contracted us as its exclusive, long-term
provider for marine transportation services.
The contract is not set to start until 2016, but Ledcor
recently had the opportunity to do a trial run with
Mainland by undertaking the marine aggregate
transportation from Mainland’s quarry to Ledcor’s
Tsawwassen Mills Project.
22
This collaboration has been beneficial for all
parties — Ledcor received the aggregate they needed
ahead of schedule, while Mainland and Ledcor had
the opportunity to gain valuable experience working
together and preparing for the official start of their
contract. This is a perfect example of leveraging a
partnership to optimize future success.
