The agreement is set for an initial five-year term, during which both parties will work closely to identify opportunities and drive success for the Joint Venture. Oosita Group of Companies was founded as a driver of prosperity and reconciliation for the Fort Chipewyan Métis Nation. By generating revenue through cooperative agreements, Oosita supports vital community programs in education, healthcare, housing, and cultural preservation. This JV with Kent aligns with Oosita’s mission to protect the interests of future generations while empowering the Métis people and their communities. Kendrick Cardinal, President of Fort Chipewyan Metis Nation, commented, > “This collaboration with Kent marks a significant milestone for the Fort Chipewyan Métis Nation. Oosita-Kent Field Services is more than a business venture—it’s a step forward in economic reconciliation and community empowerment.

Gabriel Proulx, Vice President of Operations at Kent Canada, commented on this milestone, > “This alliance represents more than just a business collaboration; it’s an opportunity to create meaningful impact and foster reconciliation with Indigenous communities. Through Oosita-Kent Field Services, we aim to bring our expertise and commitment to excellence to projects that will deliver value for our customers while uplifting the Fort Chipewyan Métis Nation.”
