Expanding Operations and Creating New Jobs
Obish is working on an exciting business expansion project. So far this year, ORC has purchased a new dump truck & trailer, grader, wheeled backhoe and a small excavator and to begin road maintenance activities in the Lac Seul Forest and in the community. This expansion has created 5 new full time jobs, all currently filled by Band Members. Though ORC’s main focus is on continuing to manage the Lac Seul Forest, there are opportunities to expand our services and projects to other forestry and non-forestry related activities as we continue to grow. These opportunities, such as road maintenance activities, create new jobs in our community and increase revenue for ORC which is invested in sustainable growth for the company and increased training programs for capacity development to support our growing employee base.
