Driving Sustainable Growth in Northern Alberta’s Energy Industry Through Indigenous Partnership

Willow Lake Métis Group is a leading Indigenous-owned enterprise that plays a vital role in Northern Alberta’s energy industry. Through our strategic partnership with Backwoods Energy Services, we deliver essential infrastructure, environmental, and logistical support across the oil, gas, and utilities sectors. Our work is rooted in a strong commitment to safety, operational excellence, and community-driven outcomes.

Operating in the heart of Alberta’s energy corridor, we provide a comprehensive range of services that support upstream and midstream operations—including access road construction, vegetation management, site preparation, environmental monitoring, transportation, and facility maintenance. These services are critical for the safe, efficient, and sustainable operation of industrial projects in Northern Alberta’s often challenging and remote landscapes.

What sets Willow Lake Métis Group apart is our dedication to Indigenous participation and economic reconciliation. We believe that Alberta’s energy future must be inclusive, responsible, and collaborative. By employing local Indigenous workers, reinvesting profits into community development, and aligning our operations with cultural values, we ensure that the energy industry’s growth also supports long-term Indigenous prosperity.

Our partnership with Backwoods Energy Services enhances our capacity to meet the evolving needs of clients in the region. Backwoods brings decades of industry experience and an aligned vision for sustainability, safety, and respect for Indigenous lands and traditions.

Together, we are redefining how energy projects are delivered—where community, culture, and commerce work hand in hand. Willow Lake Métis Group is proud to be at the forefront of Northern Alberta energy industry, offering high-quality, Indigenous-led services that contribute to a stronger, more equitable future for all stakeholders.
