Canadian Based Operators
Canadian Base Operators (CBO) is a Canadian joint venture partnership
between Black & McDonald Limited
and U.S.-based Defense Support
Services LLC (DS2), a legal entity owned by Lockheed Martin Inc.,
Day & Zimmermann Inc., and Aerotech Inc.
CBO was the first civilian service supplier at any military base in Canada to take on all non-military service functions. Although CBO has extended its services to many other bases and armouries for the Department of National Defence (DND), we still remain at Land Force Central Area Training Centre (LFCATC) in Meaford, Ontario. There, we provide complete support for over 2,000 Canadian soldiers in training, including 100 buildings and structures on 17,000 acres.
For the Canada Wings Aviation Training Centre located in Southport, Manitoba, CBO is responsible for the Support Services Division of the 20 year contract with DND, encompassing operations & maintenance for the airfield and associated facilities.
In Northern Alberta, Canadian Base Operators operates and maintains the Aerodrome at the Albian Sands Oil Sands Project for Shell Aviation.
At CFS Alert in Nunavut, the northernmost inhabited location on Earth, CBO meets the challenges of providing facilities management and operations 800 km from the North Pole. A unique element of the Alert scope is the apprenticeship program in support of the Inuit aboriginal community.
