Abstract

There is often a learning curve when partnering with others and sometimes the benefits of collaboration are overshadowed in order to fit within the rules and regulations in place by one funding body or another. Since that first joint venture, a steering committee was pulled together which resulted in the creation of a 10-year plan. Cando Economic Developer of the Year Award Winner Aboriginal Private Sector Business Category Birch Mountain Enterprises Ltd. After nearly a decade in business and over 250 employees, Birch Mountain Enterprises (BNE), is a proven and dependable fluid handling and steaming specialist in the Fort McKay area.
