“Improving the quality of life for our members is a continually evolving process. Having served our community in varied capacities and sitting on a number of boards for different businesses helps me to be able to recognize quality,” Chief Harold Leighton of Metlakatla said. “I appreciate the opportunity that our partnership with Tarpon Energy Services represents. I look forward to many successful years of moving the bar ever higher in our mutual goals to improve our economic circumstances in a good way.”
“The leadership at Lax Kw’alaams continually stresses how critical it is for our future to continue to leverage employment and business development within our community,” said Mayor Gary
Reece of Lax Kw’alaams. “Partnerships with well-recognized organizations like Tarpon Energy Services, who have a proven reputation and a solid local presence, offer beneficial economic opportunities for all of us. We are confident that this new partnership will continue to create long term sustainable benefits for our community members.”
