Wolastoq Construction Supply Ltd. is an Indigenous-led construction supply company serving general contractors across New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada — materials, industrial consumables, and Indigenous labour supply, sourced locally and delivered on schedule.
Wolastoq — the beautiful and bountiful river — has been the artery of Wolastoqiyik life for generations. Our company carries its name because we carry that responsibility forward into the work of building this region.
Wolastoq Construction Supply Ltd. is an Indigenous-led construction supply company based in Tobique First Nation and Saint John, New Brunswick. Founded by Edwin Bernard — former Chief of Tobique First Nation and long-standing council member — in partnership with DPM, the Saint John project management firm.
We supply general contractors with materials, industrial consumables, PPE, and skilled Indigenous tradespeople across the Atlantic provinces. Our model is local, accountable, and built for the construction industry's accelerating demand for verified Indigenous content.
Lumber, drywall, insulation, framing, rebar, and concrete forms. Sourced through established Atlantic Canada distributors and delivered on the schedule your site needs.
Personal protective equipment, safety supplies, fasteners, welding consumables, and site housekeeping materials — managed on standing orders so your crew is never waiting.
Certified Indigenous tradespeople — carpenters, general labourers, and equipment operators — from Tobique First Nation and Wolastoqiyik communities across Atlantic Canada.
Minimum share of federal contracting dollars that every Government of Canada department is now required to award to Indigenous businesses annually.
On projects with federal funding or visibility, general contractors are expected to demonstrate Indigenous participation in their bids and to document it through their supply chain.
Naming Wolastoq Construction Supply Ltd. as a supply partner gives your project a verifiable Indigenous content line — supported by a real, locally-operating company with a registered office on Tobique First Nation reserve and an operating base in Saint John.
We are not a brokerage built around a status card. We are a Wolastoqiyik-owned operating business that competes on price, delivery, and reliability — and clears your Indigenous reporting at the same time.
For general contractors bidding into Project NextGen, federal capital works, or any project with Indigenous content expectations, we are the straightforward answer to a question that is about to come up on every bid.
Former Chief of Tobique First Nation and a sitting council member. Co-developer of two Atlantic Canada wind energy projects and a long-standing participant in major Saint John infrastructure work.
Edwin leads strategic direction, customer relationships, and the company's accountability to the Wolastoqiyik communities it represents.
