Holmes Construction

Happy Thanksgiving! Our office is closed today, Monday the 12th. The only thing we’re building today is a big plate of leftovers!

See you tomorrow, hope everyone has a great long weekend!

Heads up! We’ll be closed tomorrow in honour of Truth and Reconciliation. See you back on Thursday!

Our office is currently closed due to a power outage. If you need us, you can still reach us by email!

At Holmes Construction we take pride on having a dedicated team. At the end of the month we are going to lose these two. Seth, left, is moving to Halifax and supporting his family there. Ben, right, has been accepted into Lineman College, something he has been working toward for years.

Part of being a business is trying to build people up knowing and understanding they will not all stay. These two have grown their skills and will take those lessons to their next stage.

We are proud of their work and honored they chose to work with us. If you see them, give them a big congrats!

You will be missed!

Thank you!

HEADS UP!
Our crew is heading out on our annual retreat for some well deserved R&R, so our office will have limited coverage from Thursday August 6th to Saturday August 8th. If you need us, give us a call or send us an email!

We spent all week building and fixing things…. Unfortunately our golf swings weren’t one of them!
Luckily, everyone at the Chba-pei golf tournament was having such a great time, nobody noticed…
