Cedar Valley Lodge (CVL) in Kitimat, B.C. is Sodexo Canada’s largest remote work site and the second-largest work site in North America.
The LNG Canada project in Kitimat, British Columbia is the largest energy investment in Canadian history. Once complete, it will supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to replace coal in Asian markets. To meet the challenge of housing its workforce onsite, LNG Canada’s prime construction partner, JGC Fluor, engaged Sodexo Canada to deliver all hospitality, food, and maintenance services for project workers – guests – at Cedar Valley Lodge (CVL), the new best-in-class worker accommodation centre. CVL is Sodexo Canada’s largest remote work site and the second-largest work site in North America. Designed as an integrated and inclusive environment for a diverse remote workforce, CVL offers a complete array of 28
amenities and services in one location— from on-site health care to high-speed Internet service, expansive dining options, and a full range of leisure and recreational opportunities. The lodge opened in stages with the first group of guests taking occupancy in July 2020. While timelines were impacted by COVID-19, the lodge was fully operational by July 2021 and serves 4,500 guests in total. Prioritizing the guest experience, Sodexo Canada created a home away from home for LNG Canada workers – many of whom travel from other areas of the province and country. CVL boasts all the amenities one would expect at a hotel resort, providing guests with an unmatched experience and elevating the living standards for a remote work site.
Central to this elevated experience is Sodexo Canada’s new digital app, MyWay. The revolutionary app provides opportunities for guests to provide feedback, ensuring that service, food, maintenance, and other amenities are always top of the line. The app also allows Sodexo Canada to directly communicate with guests and provide them with virtual updates on daily menus and amenities, which makes communication easier and friendlier for the environment. Rounding out the experience is an expansive menu with nutritious food and buildings for recreation, entertainment and administration, including an on-site health clinic. Cedar Valley Lodge and Sodexo Canada’s operation of it is changing the game for industrial work camps.
