Jason Nadeau and Sons Excavation and Forestry

About Jason Nadeau and Sons Excavation and Forestry

Jackman sits near the northern end of the Old Canada Road, a border town ringed by spruce ridges and the broad, cold water of Big Wood Lake. Winter comes early to this high country along the Moose River, and it comes in earnest, with snow that stacks deep against cabins and woodsheds. Jason Nadeau and Sons Excavation and Forestry works with heavy iron and timber by trade, and when the season turns it puts that equipment to work on snow. Through the long blue nights of January the job is plowing driveways open and shoving the banks back far enough for a truck to roll out at dawn. In a place where the nearest neighbor may well be a moose, a cleared drive feels like a lifeline.
