About North Arrow Group
Building Infrastructure, Strengthening Communities
North Arrow Group is an Indigenous-led construction and infrastructure organization executing complex projects across Canada while generating meaningful economic reconciliation.
A Foundation Built on Expertise and Respect
North Arrow Group operates at the intersection of top-tier construction execution and genuine community partnership. We have established a strong record of delivering complex civil, environmental and site-development projects alongside Indigenous communities and through federal Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB) initiatives.
Our experience includes executing highly regulated work for Defence Construction Canada (DCC), the Canadian Armed Forces, and First Nations such as the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. By bringing together extensive resources, skilled project management, and a deep respect for the lands we work within, we provide a capable, procurement-ready partner for the public and private sectors.

Our Core Values
Uncompromising Safety
Safety is our fundamental operational baseline. We maintain rigorous protocols to ensure every team member, partner, and community member returns home safely, every single day.
Operational Excellence
We combine innovative engineering, robust project management, and top-tier tradesmanship to deliver complex projects on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.
Lasting Legacy
We look beyond the final inspection. Our goal is to leave behind not just durable infrastructure, but stronger, more resilient communities with increased economic capacity.
Beyond Compliance
What distinguishes North Arrow Group is our understanding that Indigenous participation must extend beyond contractual compliance. We approach Indigenous content as an opportunity to create meaningful employment, strengthen local business capacity, and ensure project investment generates lasting benefits.
We proactively structure our projects to ensure maximum economic retention and cultural respect through:
- Incorporating Indigenous labour, subcontracting, and materials into our procurement strategies from the outset.
- Maintaining transparent documentation, monthly reporting, and ongoing collaboration with community representatives.
- Coordinating with environmental monitors to protect culturally significant lands and wildlife.
- Integrating cultural awareness and Species-at-Risk training into project delivery for all employees and subcontractors.
