Raising the 'BARR' for over 75 years

Gordon Barr left his roots and his home in the picturesque Ottawa Valley as a licensed plumber to pursue a business with his brother Mel in Kingston, Ontario. Known for his versatility, Gordon was mechanically inclined, detail-oriented and by all rights, a savvy businessman. He saw the need and the opportunity for a heavy civil company in Southeastern Ontario. In 1949, driven by his love of construction and his desire to grow, Gordon Barr Limited was created with a single piece of equipment.
