CBO sponsored the annual Ralston Rodeo at CFB Suffield in July 2022. This long-standing event brings military and ranching community members together to celebrate and exchange their culture. There were fun and exciting amateur events for British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) and CFB Suffield community members to participate in. Events also included members of the Siksika Nation who performed a grand entrance with traditional dances and shared their history. It was a great time for all, with lots of activities for the families, food trucks, and the night ended with talented local bands playing for the crowd. CBO Site Manager, Denice Hamel was proud that her son was involved in the entertainment. CBO provides facilities management services to BATUS; where, in addition to routine service of over 144 buildings, and taking care of all the military housing through Canadian Forces Housing Agency (CFHA) at CFB Suffield, provides additional work request services for the entire training facility – the largest of its kind in Canada. CBO is honoured to be part of the Ralston, Alberta community and to sponsor such an enjoyable and significant day.

We are pleased to announce that CBO and North Baffin Co-operatives have come together to form a new joint venture, Baffin Base Operators (BBO). BBO is listed on the Inuit Firm Registry and will pursue the provision of goods, Facility Management (FM) and site services opportunities in Baffin Region, which is located in the Nunavut Settlement Area. This new partnership is pursuing the North Warning System (NWS) contract as a subcontractor to Raytheon Canada to provide site operation and maintenance services at the 47 NWS radar sites across the Canadian Arctic.

We are excited to announce that Canadian Base Operators (CBO) has partnered with Kalluk Corp, an Inuit-owned company which provides a wide range of maintenance services to the Cambridge Bay region. CBO and Kalluk Corp have formed Kalluk Base Operators (KBO), a joint venture. KBO was formed to provide a business connection between CBO, Inuit-owned companies and the people of the Kitikmeot region.

Canadian Base Operators (CBO), as a first-tier subcontractor to Raytheon Canada, has worked on the North Warning System (NWS) operation and maintenance services contract for the past eight years. The NWS has 47 radar sites across the Canadian Arctic, all of which have their own geographical and logistical complexities.

Canadian Base Operators (CBO) is a hidden gem for career opportunities; an untapped resource with positions and job sites all across Canada. In addition to local positions there are many opportunities to travel and see parts of the world that you may never get the opportunity to see.

When the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit, CBO acquired an emergency supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) and hand sanitizer from operating partner Black & McDonald. CBO worked with Grey Bruce Health Services to identify a suitable location to donate the remainder of our emergency surplus. This led CBO to the Chapman House – a not-for-profit hospice located in Owen Sound, Ontario. The value of the supplies exceeded $41,000. CBO was more than happy to provide some much-needed relief to this organization that relies heavily on fundraising to ensure the health and safety of its residents and staff.

During Canadian Base Operator’s (CBO) 2018 Strategic Planning it was decided to increase focus on Human Performance – Health, Safety, Environment and Quality. CBO renewed its commitment to reducing human error by focussing on its core values, which are principally to establish and promote a culture wherein HSE and quality are top priority. Since that time, the CBO team has collectively gone on an incredibly successful journey, with improved performance in 2019 and an outstanding accomplishment in 2020.

ABO donated $1,000 in support of the new Alternate Education program at the Fort Chipewyan Community High School (FCCHS) in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta. ABO is a partnership between Canadian Base Operators and Acden Holdings (Acden), a company owned by the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN). The ACFN, Mikisew Cree First Nation and Métis Local 125 started the Alternate Education program in early 2020. Centred at the Fort Chipewyan Keyano College campus, the program offers students Grade 10 to 12 module-based learning. Students can complete modules at home and at their own pace, allowing access to education, and minimizing barriers to education and the effects of isolation. ABO assisted Acden with the delivery of computer equipment consisting of 10 computers, monitors and printers that Acden donated to FCCHS. ABO is very proud to be part of such an important initiative.
