Safe to say… we’re still thawing out 🧊🐻‍❄️💙

There’s something pretty special about seeing this many people show up, take the plunge, and support something bigger than themselves.

Proud of our PDR Civil and PDR Shop teams for jumping in (literally) and being part of a day that gave back to Special Olympics, Pro Kids, CNIB, and Roots Community Food Centre.

Ten years ago today, four guys and a truck took a leap of faith and started what they hoped would become a truly family-run business.

Fast forward a decade, and that family has grown to over 100 employees working for 3 separate companies in the PDR family.

Along the way, we’ve been proud to bring projects like the TBT Office Renovation, Giant Tiger, Boulevard Lake Dam, Waasigan transmission line, NAPs Regional headquarters, several mines, numerous bridges and many more to life.

We’ve also grown in where we call home from our first 1 room office on Pearl Street, to Young Street, and now into our new space on Pacific Avenue.

Thank you to our team, our partners, and everyone who’s been part of this journey. Here’s to the last 10 years and to everything yet to come.
