Th’ewali Gravel Ltd.

Hello and thanks for visiting our website. The Th’ewali Gravel Company is a fairly new business, and was incorporated in October of 2001.

The company was formed by the current Chief and Council: Chief Doug Kelly, and Councilors - Nelson Kahama, Grant Commodore, and Bruce Sam. The Soowahlie Council and their management team went through an extensive community planning process during the 2001 year, and developed an economic plan as part of that process.

Part of the plan includes a strategy to form business partnerships to extract and sell gravel on the reserve, and to eventually get into ventures off of the Soowahlie Reserve as well. The head office for the Th’ewali Gravel Company is located within the Soowahlie Band Office.

Currently to date Th’ewali Gravel Ltd. has negotiated some joint venture agreements with different companies, and entered into many partnership discussions with other companies.


We are at the moment operating one gravel pit site on the reserve in partnership with a local aggregates company. We currently employ 5 Band Members at this site. On-site we have a full line of equipment such as; crushers, screening plants, loaders, excavators, gravel trucks, and graders. We hope to be able to market approximately 200,000 cubic meters of different varieties of gravel in the near future.

The Council’s vision is to see the Band become completely self sufficient one day, and to build Soowahlie into a much more healthy, cultural, and prosperous community.

For more information you may contact Bruce Sam-Gravel Pit, General Manager at 604-858-4631.
