Among others, we participated to the construction of the weirs in the Rupert River, the waterfront spur in Waskaganish Bay and the Rupert River access road. We also accomplished many various construction works in the Community like a grocery store, the water filtration plant, the power transmission line connecting the village to the network as well as a workers camp. Some clearing projects, various works with tallymen (ATV trails, snowmobile trails, boat ramps, etc.) and the Eastmain-1-A-Sarcelle-Rupert environmental follow-up, were all accomplished with local First Nation workers.
