A new manufacturing plant owned by the Alexander First Nation, near Edmonton, aims to create skilled job opportunities and long-term employment.
Alexander Valve and Supply, which makes valves for the oil and gas industry, had its opening on Friday, marking a new era of self-sustaining economic growth for the community.
Edmonton businessman Ken Braget, who brought the idea to the First Nation 55 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, said he wanted to offer community members new opportunities in the areas of employment and skills development.
