ELM and WLMG: Partners to Strengthen Industry Through Collaboration

Dear Partners and Colleagues,

ELM Inc. is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Willow Lake Métis Group (WLMG) -an Indigenous-owned organization widely recognized for its leadership in energy services, infrastructure support, and community-driven business development.

Established by the Willow Lake Métis Nation, WLMG delivers a range of industrial services, including workforce solutions, pipeline integrity, logistics, and environmental support. Their deep regional insight, Indigenous workforce model, and strong community presence make them an invaluable partner in advancing sustainable, inclusive project delivery.

ELM brings decades of experience in end of asset lifecycle management; and helps Energy companies assess and effectively retire their assets including wellbores, facilities and pipelines.

This collaboration is founded on a shared commitment to doing business differently—by integrating Indigenous values and leadership into every stage of execution. WLMG brings regional expertise and cultural connection; ELM contributes specialized technical capacity and a strong track record of performance in managing environmental liabilities. Together, we are shaping a delivery model that is practical, responsible, and built for lasting impact.

“This partnership reflects the kind of collaboration we want to see more of in industry,” says Jessica McKenzie, Manager of Partnerships & Business Development at WLMG. “It opens the door for Indigenous participation in ways that are practical, meaningful, and grounded in shared success.”

Our teams are already aligned and actively pursuing upcoming opportunities—offering clients enhanced environmental and operational services, rooted in integrity and cultural understanding.

“WLMG is proud to align with ELM in this step forward,” adds Andy Harnett, CEO of WLMG. “This collaboration enables us to deliver stronger solutions to industry while advancing our Nation’s goals of prosperity, capacity-building, and reconciliation.”

With shared values and complementary strengths, this partnership lays the foundation for long-term success. We look forward to the opportunities ahead—for our clients, our teams, and the communities we serve.
