Indigenous engagement
We're committed to supporting Indigenous communities through our work. Central to this is respectful engagement with Indigenous Peoples, governments, businesses and lands.
We've worked on over one hundred projects involving Indigenous communities across Canada and the United States.
Our industry-leading global Indigenous engagement practice, which is led by Indigenous practitioners, prioritizes honest collaboration and meaningful participation.
Our practioners work across the globe to make sure all voices are heard and communities are fully represented. We do this through the use of innovative approaches, including digital equity analytical tools, to deliver positive, impactful and sustainable legacies for our communities and our planet.

We acknowledge and respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples as defined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, their unique connection to the land and water and the role reconciliation plays in building strong relationships. We believe in the importance of learning from Indigenous Peoples in creating equitable opportunities for everyone.
We are passionate about finding innovative solutions to the challenges faced by Indigenous communities. Our strategies are driven by our trusted consultants and their understanding of the needs of the communities we serve. With over a hundred projects in our portfolio involving Indigenous communities across Canada and the United States, many of these solutions have set new standards for industry-wide best practices.
We also work with each community to tailor these industry-wide best practices into wise practices that recognize a community’s context, culture, and protocols in developing projects and programs.
