Castle Rock Enterprises has been a market leader in the areas of underground utilities (sewer, water, electrical), site preparation, quarry services, land remediation and trucking for over 25 years. Founded in 1995, the company was purchased by Dakwakada Capital Investments (DCI) in 2010, which has maintained its family-business culture. DCI is a privately owned investment firm in Whitehorse, Yukon that holds and manages most business assets of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN).

On top of its reputation as a top-quality construction company, it includes being a 100% First Nations owned business in its competitive advantage. Castle Rock maintains strong partnerships with CAFN and the broader Whitehorse and Yukon communities through many community giving and sponsorship programs.

One of the first companies in the Yukon to achieve COR Certification, the health and safety of employees, contractors and the public is an integral part of our daily activities and our most vital core value at Castle Rock.
