Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting Wins Community Service Award

Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting was given an award of excellence in community service— and that’s no surprise to us!

At last week’s BC Roadbuilders annual general meeting, MEK was one of the finalists for Excellence in Community Service. You may remember that last year Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting was nominated for the same award. 

Year after year, Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting shows up for the communities in which they work. The tight-knit towns that they serve know that they can rely on Mainroad for help when they need it most. 

Here are just a few examples of Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting exemplifying community outreach this past year: 

  • Project Heavy Duty – proud sponsor for over 10 years

  • Coldest Night of the Year – 5 years

  • Wycliffe Exhibition Association and Pro Rodeo – supply operators and a water truck for over 15 years

  • Fort Steel Historical Society – annually clear and maintain the parking area for the Fort Steel Heritage Town

  • Cranbrook Minor Ball – sponsorship of two minor ball teams

  • Cranbrook Bucks Junior “A” Hockey Team – sponsorship for the season

  • Fernie Ghostriders Junior “A” Hockey Team – sponsorship for the season

  • $1000 donation to a Cranbrook Bandits “B” Team player. This donation allowed Ziggy to be a part of a travel team that represented Cranbrooks talents. The team did very well this season.

  • Cranbrook Kennel Club – $300 donation

  • Kootenay Trail Hounds Society

  • Kimberley Nordic Center – donated material and equipment to enhance the parking area ahead of the season. MEK also ensured that the parking area was plowed and snow pushed back for athletes and spectators to enjoy the 2025 Western Canadian Championship.

  • Slow Down Move Over Campaign – MEK partnered with emergency services to bring awareness to this campaign. This year, emergency services came together to enforce the law. RCMP issued several tickets to offenders.

  • Ktunaxa Youth Hunting Camp – MEK has been a part of this program for the past 10 years, donating supplies, and manpower. This past year, MEK purchased an additional wall tent to allow the group to extend their season for all participants.

  • Cranbrook Minor Ball Association – MEK Sponsors two minor ball teams.

  • College of the Rockies – $1500 Randy Sandberg Memorial Scholarship

  • Cranbrook Grind and the Ride Through the Rockies Fundraiser – donated a side cast broom, water truck, CMS Signs, and traffic control to ensure the area was safe for cyclists.

Congratulations to the team at MEK! What a well-deserved award.
