Our Approach
We are driven by a desire for First Nations equality and their full engagement in the Canadian economy that benefits all parties.
We begin any engagement by doing our homework. There are many sources for information on First Nation communities and some communities have very deep protocols that need to be understood and respected. We avoid approaching communities with preconceptions about the leadership or community members.
We endeavour to engage beyond the leadership of the community, engaging with the entire community. Some leadership prefers all discussions go through them and they take the information back to the community, but some are quite open and encourage organizations to talk to the community.
Engage with an open mind and do your homework.
