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 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.
