Tuccaro

The roots of our company run deep in Fort McMurray, nourished by the spirit of the people here. We share the same values – loyal, hard-working and independent – and the same dreams to help our community to grow and prosper.

In 1985 our first company, Neegan, was providing essential services to oil sands companies. But equally important to us was providing essentials to the people in the Fort McMurray region, like opportunity, employment and pride. That motivated us to grow, because when we grew, so did our ability to help the community thrive.

We are Fort McMurray through and through. We started as a private, aboriginal owned Fort McMurray company and over 30 years later, we proudly remain a 100% private, 100% aboriginal owned Fort McMurray company. Today, we have grown into seven well-respected companies supplying essential services to companies, and people, in the region. Our head office is here, just as our heart is here.

As the world’s energy capital, Fort McMurray is vital to Canada’s future. We are proud to play our role in leading the region to a bright and prosperous future.

Dave Tuccaro – Founder, President and CEO

A member of the Mikisew Cree First Nation in Fort Chipewyan, Dave joined Neegan Development Corporation as General Manager in 1991, and assumed the leadership role in 1993. As an Aboriginal entrepreneur and a proud supporter of community, educational and aboriginal development, he had the inspiration to grow businesses in Fort McMurray, for Fort McMurray. Within 5 years, 2 more successful service companies – Tuc’s Contracting (a trucking company) and Neegan Technical Services (laboratory and geotechnical services company) – were established. Additional companies have since followed, including WPS, Re-stock and TPS. Dave’s path from the small community of Fort Chipewyan to a leading aboriginal business person is a result of his vision, determination and commitment to make a difference in our community.
