Songhees Development Corporation (SDC), Esquimalt Nation and Pomerleau are proud to announce the formation of Group of 3 Ventures Limited Partnership (G3V), a majority Indigenous-owned business positioned to play a leading role in major infrastructure projects within Greater Victoria and beyond.
Led by the Nations, this initiative brings together complementary strengths and a shared commitment to First Nation leadership, collaboration, and long-term economic participation. It combines the Nations' deep community knowledge, local relationships and leadership with Pomerleau's national expertise in delivering complex infrastructure projects.
G3V will initially focus on near-term opportunities in the defence infrastructure sector, a key federal priority, while also pursuing broader infrastructure projects across Lekwungen Territory. Its first opportunity includes environmental remediation work supporting the Department of National Defence's A Jetty Project in Esquimalt, British Columbia, delivered in collaboration with Defence Construction Canada.
The venture draws its name and spirit from ɫxʷélə, a Lekwungen word meaning "a group of three people." The concept reflects the essence of the partnership: three distinct organizations united by a shared purpose and common vision
