This province has strong roots and its people have a very robust work ethic. These values have guided us for 40 years and continue to shape our future.” Fafard concludes, “Being Canadian- made and Canadian-rooted reflects our deep respect for craftsmanship, accountability and community, building close to home, investing locally and standing behind everything we deliver.” According to their website, Penner has contributed to the following projects: Manitoba Hydro’s Riel and Keewatinohk Converter Stations – Supplied mesh cages and large sound control openings.
