Indigenous Relations
Supporting Canada’s Indigenous voices. As one of Canada’s leading construction services companies, we understand the social and economic benefits our projects can have, and we do everything in our power to ensure our contribution is positive in the communities we work in.
An initiative we’re proud of centers around Canada’s Indigenous Peoples; we recognize that historically, their voices have not been heard, and we are dedicated to changing this by providing opportunities and growth for their communities in which we build. To this end, EllisDon is committed to understanding the traditions, beliefs, knowledge, and uses of lands and resources that make Canada’s Indigenous Peoples unique.
By building authentic relationships, hiring Indigenous Peoples; contracting goods and services from Indigenous businesses, and always seeking to expand our understanding, we hope to ensure mutual success and be a catalyst for industry-wide change.
At EllisDon we’re driving change and innovation by working collaboratively across our business to improve our approach to vital environment, social, and governance issues. We’re committed to not just minimizing any potential negative impacts, but to creating lasting, positive change.
