Canada is pleased to announce that the company has selected a
partnership comprised of Pomerleau Inc. and Alberici Constructors,

business in the province of Quebec
since its foundation," said President and Chief Executive Officer

values have been passed. As of today, Molson Coors and Pomerleau-Alberici have
distinguished themselves both locally and globally as leaders in
their respective industries.
"We are proud to have the chance to work on a design-build
project of this magnitude, especially considering that it is a

A work in progress
Within the next few months, we will
be undertaking various streams of work to move this project forward
including the finalization of our site layout as well as the site
