About Maverick Gardner Pathways North (MGPN)

Maverick Gardner Pathways North Inc. (MGPN) is an Indigenous-majority-owned digital services partner built for the procurement priorities of corporate Canada and the federal government.

We deliver:

  • IT Operations & Service Desk — Tier 1/2 support, system administration, endpoint management, and NOC monitoring
  • Cybersecurity Operations — SOC monitoring, incident response, vulnerability management, and threat detection
  • Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) — virtual CISO advisory, security framework documentation, policy development, audit readiness, and procurement-ready evidence packages
  • Software QA & Digital Operations — test planning, manual/automated QA, and digital workflow optimization
  • Digital Foundations Training — workforce skills development for clients building internal Indigenous technical capacity

MGPN delivers from a Canada-resident, remote-first model designed to meet Protected B data residency requirements, defence-aligned security standards, and PSIB procurement pathways. Headquartered in Newmarket, Ontario with a pilot operation in Grahamdale, Manitoba, our Train-Hire-Build model trains and hires First Nations workers in rural and underserved communities — creating paid career pathways with every engagement, anchored by Maverick Gardner ITS Inc., our CGP-designated managed services partner.

We were founded on the belief that Indigenous communities should not just consume technology — we should build it, own it, and deliver it. Indigenous-controlled. Procurement-ready. Built to scale.
