OHSWEKEN, ON, July 31, 2025 – Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC), the economic development arm of Six Nations of the Grand River, is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Maple Leaf Matting, a Calgary-based company that provides environmental access matting solutions and operates across eastern Canada.
Through this agreement, SNGRDC will receive a share of profits from Maple Leaf Matting projects in Southern and Southwestern Ontario.
