A PARTNERSHIP ROOTED IN STRENGTH The name “Niiwin,” meaning “four” in Ojibwe, symbolizes the partnership’s core pillars: Indigenous prosperity, environmental stewardship, economic growth, and industry collaboration. At its heart, NGP is a partnership between Indigenous groups and business leaders who understand the value of sustainable, mutually beneficial relationships. The company’s approach goes beyond business— it’s about ensuring Indigenous communities are full participants in economic opportunities. Historically, many First Nations have been left out of major economic projects. NGP is working to change that by placing Indigenous ownership, employment, and training at the forefront of its operations. SERVICES AND SUCCESS Niiwin has established itself as a key player in heavy civil construction, industrial contracting, project management, and support services for the mining sector in Northern Ontario. In 2017, the company completed a major reclamation project at the Broulan Tailings Site for Newmont, placing over 250,000 tonnes of rock to stabilize the tailings dam over a seven-month period. The project employed an average of 30 truck drivers and equipment operators daily. 4
