Alec Young began working with Manitoba Conservation in 1973. During his spare time he starting started painting and cutting trees etc for various people. Someone approached Alec to do some construction work for them. He enjoyed the work and so much that he started to take carpentry and woodworking courses during 1974 and 1975. In 1975 he returned to the Falcon & West Hawk Area and started a small construction company known as Alec Young Construction. Paul and Tom worked for the company for many years and when Alec and wife, Theresa, wanted to sell their business, Paul and Tom decided to form a partnership and bought the company in 2000, changing the name to Alec Young Associates Ltd. They continued to operate out of Alec’s yard. In the spring of 2007, a new shop and office were built at Penniac subdivision, West Hawk Lake. Most of our employees are local to the area and enjoy lake living as much as you do!
