June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, and today, June 21, we recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day. A time to honour the histories, cultures, resilience, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
For those of us working in land, infrastructure, energy, and development projects, this is also an important reminder that meaningful engagement is not a checkbox; it is a responsibility.
The projects we support take place on lands with deep history, rights, relationships, and responsibilities. We understand the importance of knowing when regulatory consultation alone may not be enough, and when early, respectful engagement with Indigenous communities can create greater clarity, reduce project risk, and support better outcomes.
Today, we are reminded to keep learning, listen with intention, and continue building relationships grounded in respect, transparency, and trust.
