Our Mission
Luhkewin Inc. was founded in Oromocto, New Brunswick, otherwise known as Welamukotuk in the wolastoqey language. The word Luhkewin is pronounced “Lou-Gowin” and means worker. Luhkewin inc. comes from a demand to build capacity and match key infrastructure and environmental engineering projects to an underrepresented labour force from local First Nations communities.
