About New Era

New Era Developments Ltd. is a local company established to develop affordably-priced residences for retirement and family living in a prime new area of Canora, within walking distance of shopping and the golf course.

Construction is under the supervision of Albert Plett (right), who has 40 years experience in the building industry. He first started building homes and commercial space in 1965, as a carpenter for Penn Co. Construction in Manitoba, his home province.

By 1975 he was Project Manager for the company, in charge of major projects including the construction of the new town site of Pinawa for people working at the Atomic Research Centre. He oversaw the construction of 200 houses, schools, and a dental clinic.

Since then, he has built schools, hospitals, swimming pools, high rise apartment buildings, townhouses, police barracks, senior citizen housing and apartment blocks across western Canada, including Calgary, Kelowna, Vancouver and Whistler.

He has taken courses at Red River College in Winnipeg, and has received the Gold Seal Certificate for Site Supervision and Project Management from the Canadian Construction Association.

Now semi-retired, Albert is looking forward to undertaking the work for New Era in Canora. "I receive a great deal of satisfaction from people I come across now and again, who tell me how much they appreciate the homes we have built for them. I just love building."

New Era Development Ltd. is proud to have Albert Plett as leader of our construction team.
