Eacom Timber Corporation announces a $10 million investment over 5 years to replace its existing housing facility in Gogama, Ontario, Canada. The investment will allow to replace the 12 housing units by a complex of 44 units including a food catering service for its employees.
As the housing situation in the Gogama area is limited, Eacom desire to stay at the forefront of human resources practices. Over the next 12 months, Eacom will be welcoming over 12 international employees and their families at its facility. The housing facility will also accommodate corporate and regional employees while travelling for business in the area.
“This is the achievement of an idea that started two years ago”, says Eric Larouche, Eacom Vice-President Human Resources. “Eacom appointed internally a dedicated task force group to work on this project and they worked countless hours to make it happen. We are extremely happy to offer our employees a housing alternative to better their life at work, as we always strive for the best for our employees.”
For this Project Eacom has partnered with IVEY Group, based out of Sudbury, Ontario. IVEY Group will have the responsibility of the operations of the facility from food service to house keeping to maintenance and upkeep.
Eacom Timber Corporation is a major Eastern Canadian wood products company. Operations include the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of lumber and wood-based value-added products, and the management of forest resources.
