Our ability to scale quickly while maintaining high quality and safety standards has significantly affected our growth.” GROWING WORKFORCE Fortis continues to build on its strong foundation, applying its proven techniques across various projects. The company has grown substantially, now boasting a workforce of around 200 people. Its commitment and ability to deliver on complex projects have positioned Fortis as a mining, energy, and infrastructure leader. Local to Saskatchewan, Fortis is closely observing potash and uranium mining trends. With the global population increasing and the demand for renewable, sustainable energy rising, these resources are seeing a significant surge in demand. Fortis has established a strong presence in the local potash market, playing a crucial role in supporting nearly all the potash producers in the province. Looking forward, the company anticipates substantial growth in the uranium sector. It is prepared to help major clients in northern Saskatchewan, adapting its successful strategies from the potash industry to meet the expected rise in demand. PARTNERSHIPS WITH INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES Fortis places great importance on fostering meaningful relationships with indigenous communities, especially for projects located near these communities. The company actively seeks to involve local indigenous workers in its projects, partnering with various resources to acquire personnel. The approach not only supports the local economy but also ensures that Fortis’ projects benefit from the unique knowledge and skills of the indigenous workforce. One of the standout aspects of Fortis’ operations is its extensive and diverse project portfolio. The 78 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 06
