Our Journey
Kʷasən – meaning Star in our language, creates unique opportunities for meaningful partnerships that share a common purpose and values long term relationships. Kʷasən specializes in building high quality projects while focusing on the environment and adding value to our client and communities. With our strong passion for decarbonization we believe in innovative technologies to enhance construction methods that are rapidly evolving and changing our communities for the better.
As an Indigenous owned company, we will embed the strong cultural values of our ancestors that have sustained our people for thousands of years here in British Columbia. With their teachings of being sustainable we believe we can embed these values into the modern built world.
Our journey begins with everyone we work with. We believe in creating a meaningful change while building a strong social impact in municipalities and Indigenous communities here in BC.

About Kwasen
Curt Thomas and Dennis Thomas grew up together on the Tsleil Waututh Nation reserve in North Vancouver. There, they absorbed the stories and teachings from their Elders and family. They grew up witnessing the new age of economic independence that their Nation was striving to achieve. Their Nation fought against the behemoth companies prospering on the extraction and movement of fossil fuels. Through these experiences, they have developed a unique vision of how an Indigenous company can thrive from an economic and humanistic perspective in this 21st Century.
