About the Organization

Since its establishment in 1961, and located in the County Industrial Park on the south eastern edge of Grande Prairie, Wapiti Gravel Suppliers has grown to become one of the largest and most respected road construction companies in Northern Alberta.

Specializing in road construction, asphalt paving, aggregate sales and underground work, the company’s fleet currently boasts over 200 pieces of mobile equipment. Wapiti’s also sells aggregate materials to municipalities, as well as the forest, oil & gas, and agricultural industries.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of ColasCanada Inc., Wapiti Gravel Suppliers stands by its core values: innovation, safety, delivery, and excellence, and the company prides itself on bringing innovative solutions to each project they work on.

Employing over 200 committed staff, Wapiti Gravel is just as committed to its employees as they are to the company. Many seasonal employees return, year after year, to our municipal operations in Grande Prairie or to travel the North half of the province with one of our highway construction crews.
