Loader Operator at COLAS

Since 2006, the partnership between Nipissing First Nation and The Miller Group has thrived on mutual respect and a dedication to creating enduring positive impacts for the community through sustainable infrastructure development.

This business relationship was initially built around the Nipissing Quarry under a unique ground lease that secured Nipissing First Nation land ownership while providing Miller a local base for quarry operations. To this day, the quarry is operated by Miller from a commercial building on Nipissing First Nation under a long-term lease and royalty agreement. The success of this collaboration laid the foundation for the partnership to grow.
