We were honored to be part of the NSBA Business Builder Awards Night. Brook Davis had this to say about the night:
"Last weeks events were nothing short of spectacular. Fellowship, networking and just some good old fashion rock and roll. Thanks to the NSBA, sponsors, award finalist and of course the members. We are truly grateful for the opportunities that we are given living and working in this community. I am always so proud of how many companies in our community punch above their weight class!"

“This partnership is a great fit for our us,” said Shaun Howdle, President & CEO of STC Industrial Group. “When we are exploring new partnership opportunities we are looking for partners that believe in our vision for the development of Indigenous business and support for careers for Indigenous people, and Team Power has that.

Thanksgiving in the North
In October, many members of our Saskatoon Electrical team were up north, working on a project that required long hours, during the evenings, as well as the weekend, which also meant that some of our team was not able to spend Thanksgiving with their families and loved ones back home. We are proud of our team, who worked together to get the job done safely and to a standard of quality.
Being up north did offer us some unique experiences, such as seeing the spectacular Northern Lights and the ability to go golfing on Thanksgiving, using the golf simulator at camp while simultaneously video chatting with our families!
