Arriving In Victoria In 2016, Sasco Proves Its Almost Four Decades Of Industry Leader Status In Electrical Construction
BRITISH COLUMBIA – Excellence. Teamwork. Diversity. Growth. Ambition. Balance.
These are the six core values of Sasco Contractors, an industry leader in electrical construction with almost forty years’ experience serving Canadians, and one of BC’s fastest growing electrical contractors. On those values, Sasco puts their money where their mouth is.

Launched in 1984, Sasco Contractors has over one hundred and sixty employees across offices in Burnaby, Kamloops and Victoria, the latter opened in 2016. Providing everything from 24/7 on-call service and maintenance, electrical construction, full spectrum electrical and communication projects for data centres, network infrastructure installations, fire alarm upgrades, power distribution upgrades, and much more, Sasco offers a true full-service experience.
When Sasco set up shop in Victoria to provide better service to some of their long-term customers and build new business, they wasted no time making an impact on the Island community.
“On Vancouver Island, we are able to provide budgeting, cost-estimation, and project management services for various types of electrical work, regardless of size and complexity,” explains Sasco President and General Manager Craig Paquin.
Sasco supports residential, industrial and commercial projects across BC with over fifty service-ready vehicles
“We continue to work with and seek customers needing problems solved, and who view Sasco as a true partner in completing the electrical portion of their projects. For projects where the electrical scope is the primary focus, we’re able to plan, organize, and schedule the required sub-trades, ensuring Sasco will be their one-stop shop for infrastructure renewals and upgrades, from fire alarm systems and distribution, to emergency power upgrades.”
In keeping with their core values, Sasco provides these services via a diversity of ambitious and experienced people, including a concerted effort to hire and support women in the trades, a woefully underutilized demographic in the trades workforce Canada-wide.
Today, Sasco has its hands in a number of major projects across BC, Vancouver Island being no exception. The Island team is working on Langford’s multi-phased, multi-story, $1.8 million Makola housing development, providing one-hundred units of affordable housing and containing the Office of Makola Developments services and the Hulitan Society, which advocates for and provides services to indigenous families.

They helped design and build the region’s first indoor soccer training facility for the Pacific Football Club, also in Langford. Recently, they completed a full fire alarm and emergency lighting upgrade for the Victoria courthouse, a $1.4 Million job, and are currently working on replacing the fire alarm system at the Victoria Conference Centre.
On the Victoria Courthouse job, Vancouver Island Regional Manager Ian Bartlett notes, “This was an occupied space, which made for a complicated project requiring our people to work nights, and essentially appear as if we’d not been there at all the next day. Our teams really enjoy the challenge of working in these very technical scenarios.”
A dedicated company, up for any challenge, Sasco Contractors continues to perpetually strive to showcase their values to existing customers, and an ever-growing list of new clienteles in BC.
