People - Community - Partners

In August 2024, Gabbez Inc. made the strategic decision to relocate operations to Frog Lake First Nation — a move driven by our commitment to Indigenous empowerment, regional development, and long-term industrial self-sufficiency.

What began as a vision is now a living example of what Indigenous-led companies can achieve when community and industry grow together.

Key Achievements Since Relocation:

Indigenous Workforce Leadership
Gabbez proudly maintains a 60–80% Indigenous workforce, where we have seen up to 40 full-time Frog Lake members employed across fabrication, civil, and field construction projects. Many have advanced into leadership, mentorship, and trade roles.

Fabrication Facility Completed
We completed over 13,000 square feet of indoor fabrication space, enabling high-capacity pipe and structural steel fabrication. Supported by an additional 8+ acres of outdoor laydown and module assembly, this facility is now a major regional hub for field-ready construction support.

Water Treatment Plant – In Progress
Gabbez is leading the civil and utility construction of a new Water Treatment Plant that will provide clean, reliable water to the Frog Lake community — a project that brings both critical infrastructure and local training opportunities.

25 MW Solar Farm – Completed with 80% Indigenous Labour
In collaboration with industry partners and Indigenous stakeholders, we successfully executed a 25-megawatt solar farm, completed with over 80% Indigenous labour — a milestone project that demonstrates our ability to deliver clean energy infrastructure while maximizing community involvement.

Capacity Building & Economic Growth
In addition to delivering key infrastructure, Gabbez continues to source materials and subcontract services through local, Indigenous-owned businesses, creating economic opportunities that extend beyond our direct workforce. Our presence has increased capacity and created pathways for long-term participation in industrial, municipal, and renewable energy projects.
