Steel River Group Announces a Reimagined Approach to Water Care in Canada

Water Care Company to provide turnkey water care solution to remote and Indigenous communities

CALGARY, Alberta, May 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Calgary based Steel River Group Ltd. (Steel River), an Indigenous-owned diversified management consortium, has announced the formation of a new entity, Water Care Company, reimagining the approach to the preservation, sovereignty and stewardship of one of our most important resources, water.

Access to simple, effective, and user-friendly water and wastewater treatment solutions continues to be a growing challenge across Canada and beyond. This challenge is amplified and often overlooked when talking about small, remote, and Indigenous communities. Water Care Company will provide mobile turn-key water care to meet this crucial need.

Through Steel River’s expansive ecosystem, Water Care Company is working with industry leaders like Total Metalworks Inc., a Calgary based manufacturer with decades of experience in the water space, designing and fabricating modular treatment solutions for deployment.

“As an Indigenous business owner who has worked with Indigenous communities across Canada, I’ve seen first-hand the water crisis that many remote and Indigenous communities are facing,” said Trent Fequet, Founder and CEO of Steel River. “By supporting collaboration through Steel River’s ecosystem partners like Total Metalworks Inc., Water Care Company is immediately able to offer treatment solutions that are owned, operated and maintained by communities at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems, giving these communities access to clean water.”

Although basic water infrastructure and processes have remained unchanged for decades, the cost requirements to put these processes in place has continued to remain high, even increasing year over year. Many small, remote and Indigenous communities do not operate their own facilities, which leads to increased operating costs and lost opportunities for employment and benefits to remain within the community.

In addition to these challenges, regulations on wastewater are continuously increasing as the world sees rising evidence of the negative effects that inadequately or non-treated wastewater has on nearly every ecosystem on the planet.

Water Care Company has aligned itself with several simple, effective and user-friendly treatment technologies, allowing them to provide equipment and system offerings to communities that fit their unique needs. Water Care Company will continue to leverage new effective technologies and solutions-based services to act as a complete turnkey approach to support Indigenous and rural communities, government, and industry in taking better care of their water.

About Steel River Group

Steel River Group is a privately held Indigenous owned and operated company that creates opportunity where Indigenous-led businesses are empowered to create and capture value for our people, strategic alliance partners, and our communities. Steel River Group’s Governing principles are deeply rooted in Indigenous values, beliefs, and culture, grounded by a strong sense of community. Steel River’s operating approach is centered around their inclusive Ecosystem Model, which brings Steel River Owned Companies, Indigenous Communities and Strategic Alliance Partners together over a shared vision to create opportunities for generation wealth.

L3Harris Technologies and Air Tractor Announce Sky Warden™ ISR Strike Aircraft

L3Harris Technologies and Air Tractor Announce Sky Warden™ ISR Strike Aircraft

Highlights:

  • Teamed to create affordable, production-ready ISR strike system
  • Combines Air Tractor’s rugged platform with L3Harris’ mature mission solutions
  • Offers multi-mission aircraft capability in one deployable and resilient package

MELBOURNE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) and Air Tractor have teamed to produce the AT-802U Sky Warden™, an affordable, production-ready aircraft designed for airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and other missions in extreme combat environments.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210506005203/en/

Sky Warden is based on the rugged and capable Air Tractor AT-802, which features the largest payload capacity of any single engine turboprop aircraft. It hosts L3Harris’ world-class family of communications, sensors and airborne ISR solutions. The platform is backed by the company’s extensive turnkey ISR operation experience.

The multi-mission platform provides the operator agility and flexibility to identify, track and react to counter threats. It merges the capabilities of larger ISR and armed aircraft into one resilient package. It is also capable of takeoff and landing on unimproved airstrips – allowing the aircraft to be deployed and co-located with special mission operators.

“Air Tractor aircraft were developed precisely to operate in austere environments with limited infrastructure,” said Jim Hirsch, President, Air Tractor, Inc. “Our aircraft are built to offer unparalleled flexibility, essential ingredients for special mission operators.”

“Our mission systems, platforms, direct operators and sustainment teams have supported more than 1.3 million combat hours of special operations ISR and attack missions in the past 10 years,” said Luke Savoie, President, Aviation Services, L3Harris. “Combining that experience with Air Tractor, one of the largest turboprop aircraft OEMs in the world, enables our team to design and provide a mature platform capable of operating anywhere in the world and provides the tools needed to support any mission.”

Sky Warden’s name commemorates two best-in-class, multi-mission special operations combat platforms. It merges the deep history of the Vietnam era A-1E Sky Raider with the present-day U-28, which uses the callsign “Warden” during combat operations. Sky Warden combines their heritage and capabilities to collapse the stack, providing one aircraft capable of multiple mission roles. Learn more about the Sky Warden’s legacy and how it brings modern technology to the ISR strike mission at www.L3Harris.com/SkyWarden.

AMES, Iowa–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Workiva Inc. (NYSE:WK), today announced its support of the reintroduction of the Financial Transparency Act (FTA) (H.R. 2989) in the 117th U.S. Congress by Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Patrick McHenry (R-NC).

“The Financial Transparency Act is common-sense legislation that will drive innovation and efficiency,” said Marty Vanderploeg, chief executive officer of Workiva. “We continue to be encouraged by the federal government’s progress in improving how agencies collect, use and publish data. There is a tremendous opportunity unlocked when trusted and transparent data are reported.”

Workiva works with the Data Coalition, a membership-based initiative that advocates for responsible policies to make government data high-quality, accessible, and usable, and has been supporting lawmakers on the reintroduction of the bipartisan bill.
