Deeply rooted principles that guide our corporations include
accountability, respect, customer service, First Nation appreciation,
leading edge management and long-term vision planning.

future for our career minded youth.
Our shareholders’ interests are considered in everything the Mikisew
Group of Companies does. The Mikisew difference is that our shareholders
are our community.
From essential services to training and employment opportunities,
our companies never stop giving back to our community. But the most
important thing we give transcends everything else: Pride.
