division, they are servicing some private clients in the Canmore area. They also have a crusher out in the Mînî Thnî First Nations settlement, as well as a crusher in Jasper, where they are providing aggregate to facilitate some new roads and pads for prairie housing. As for British Columbia, Reid explains the company has always intended to expand there, and now it’s finally happening. “Most of us are actually from BC and we’ve spent a lot of our careers in BC,” he explains. “From the beginning, we’ve always talked about coming back here, because this is home for most of us. We’ve always had a bit of a plan and that plan is starting to come to fruition. We’re making the move this year. We’ve found some areas there where we think Zulu Aggregates can do well, where we can support the community with some great work and some great pricing.” Ultimately, Reid says, the company has room to grow – particularly in British Columbia – but their goal isn’t to grow as big or as fast as possible. Rather, their goal is to maintain their industry reputation, and to maintain their culture, and grow organically as a result. “We like the size we’re at right now,” he says. “We’re open to growth, we could maybe get a little bigger, but the important thing is that we support the communities we work in, we provide some really great workmanship, and we can provide a really great place to work for our employees. As long as all that’s true, we believe the growth will come naturally.” SEPTEMBER 2025
