Developing the North is a decades-long endeavor. And it comes with a responsibility: we are setting foot on ancestral lands, alongside the nations that have lived, built, and governed there since time immemorial. For Hardy Construction, this reality shapes the way we work: our northern projects are not designed for the communities; they are co-created and co-developed with them.
Our expertise in logistics, maritime procurement, air transport, and self-sufficient camps exists to support this commitment, not to replace it. In the North, the success of a project is defined as much by the quality of the relationships we build as by the quality of the finished work.
Hardy Construction works with respect and responsibility alongside Cree, Innu, Inuit, and Anishinaabe communities, contributing to local economic development, job creation, and the transfer of skills within the region.
This approach guides every one of our northern projects, from the initial idea and first discussions through to completion.
Our workforce development programs are not for-profit. Financial stability is intended solely to ensure their long-term viability.
Daily supervision provided by experienced journeymen and trainers, directly on the job site.
The time needed to master a skill is respected, with training sites built around the community's residential projects.
Guidance on the CCQ competency maps and on the appropriate resources for each participant.
This approach is now being implemented from Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean to Nunavut, and also serves Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Northern Quebec, James Bay, and Ontario.
