The Eagle Award recognizes organizations that have made significant contributions to the Fort McMurray First Nation community in areas such as leadership, innovation, and community service.
“We are so honoured to receive The Eagle Award, which signifies our great collaboration and relationship with Fort McMurray First Nation,” said Andy Fraser, President, Civeo Canada, who was on-hand to accept the award. “This recognition is a testament to Civeo’s efforts to ensure that our operations in traditional territories are built on mutually beneficial business and community relationships, and trusted partnership.
