LOCAL MATTERS



LOCAL MATTERS


We love being part of this industry and watching our communities grow and prosper because of it. MANTL has always had the drive to provide reliable, local service because we know the people that depend on us live in these same areas. Local businesses are the backbone of any town and we wanted to highlight their stories and encourage people to support local whenever they can.

LOCAL MATTERS aims to bring you stories about the people and businesses in MANTL communities across Western Canada. If you have a business you’d like to showcase or know of one, please email localmaters@mantl.ca

SLAVE LAKE, AB

Nixter Services

Nixter Services is new to the area although the family is third generation in Slave Lake, going back to Jordon’s grandpa, born in the 1930’s. Jordon Wilson is the founder of Nixter, a company started in 2023 that offers Hotshot and Skid Steer Services. When asked what changes his grandpa would see today in the small business community, Jordon replied, “I think it’s changed substantially, specifically the caliber of work. Back then, they were all hands-on using brute strength to get the job done. Now we have equipment for every job to make things easier.”
