An Alberta landscaping firm that merged with an Ottawa outdoor property maintenance company last year is bringing a local street-sweeping enterprise under its umbrella in a bid to expand its footprint in Eastern Canada.
Calgary-based Urban Life Solutions said this week it’s acquired Richard’s Sweeping. The local firm will merge with the P. Munro Group, a maintenance company headquartered in Ottawa that combined its operations with Urban Life Solutions in November.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
