Cultural Safety Moments: Building

bridges through learning

How do you create fertile ground for strong relationships?

By taking down barriers. Our head of Indigenous relations in

Vancouver implemented an awareness program comprised

of capsules exploring Indigenous cultures, challenges and

success stories in communities, and as truth and reconci-

liation measures—a format inspired by the health and safety

discussions held at our worksites before every work shift. Our

objective: to develop 24 themes that will be rolled out across

the country in 2025. We’ve already created 12 and facilitated

10 sessions for our teams in Vancouver and Montreal, as well

as during client presentations.

These opportunities for dialogue are not just a formality. They

genuinely transform our collective understanding of Indige-

nous realities and lay the groundwork for more meaningful

collaborations.

Our Flagship Achievements

INDIGENOUS RELATIONS

Province House and Daniel-J.-McDonald:

Two approaches, one vision

In Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, we’ve taken up a chal-

lenge head on: how to ensure Indigenous participation in two

neighbouring projects without creating competition for the

same already limited businesses and talent.

Our solution: to adapt to local realities. To renovate the

Daniel-J.-McDonald Building, the head off ice of Veteran Affairs

Canada, we took a conventional approach that generated $1.5

million in Indigenous procurement. For the restoration of the

historic Province House, we chose an innovative approach

by investing directly in two Mi'kmaq communities in Prince

Edward Island: we f inanced the roof repair for a school in Len-

nox Island First Nation and created two positions for economic

development coordinators in Abegweit First Nation. This was

a $1.3-million investment in supporting local communities—

a commitment that we’re very excited about.

We also recruited an Indigenous worker for each of our project

teams. This customized approach proves that by adapting to

local realities, we can make a lasting difference.
