Shxw’ōwhámél Ventures was established in June 2015 as a labour workforce and in a few short years, has become one of the most diversified nation-owned construction companies in British Columbia. Our goal is to actively pursue and participate on major projects within and around our traditional territory in beautiful Hope, BC. As an Indigenous owned and operated company, we bring a unique perspective and local knowledge to everything that we do.
We are a driven, experienced team that is ready to execute during the entire project lifecycle- from pre-construction planning, to construction, to maintenance and to the operations period including ownership. Our goal is to bring diverse and sustainable economic development opportunities to our nation resulting in a strong and prosperous community for generations to come.
Taking care of our traditional territory and our people is always at the forefront of everything we do. We are committed to being good stewards of the land and will ensure all our work is completed with the highest level of environmental protection and safe practices in place. Our vision is to provide valuable economic opportunities and establish a sustainable and strong future for our nation and its people.
We promise not to be a spectator when industry comes in and out of our territory. We are driven to be a major leader and an essential asset on any project.
We welcome guests to our traditional territory and will work with others in a respectful and meaningful way.
We treat everyone with the utmost respect. When you work with us, we consider you a part of our extended family.
We are ready to execute on any project, big or small.
At Shxw’ōwhámél Ventures, we prioritize employment opportunities for Shxw’ōwhámél First Nation Members and look to hire other local and Indigenous candidates on our projects. We are proudly the largest employer for Indigenous peoples within our traditional territory in Hope, BC.
