First Nations Engagement Policy is built on these pillars

Black Hills, owned and operated by individuals of First Nation heritage, is deeply committed to positively contributing to the well-being of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We demonstrate this commitment by upholding and championing the rights of First Nation communities throughout all aspects of our operations. Black Hills is dedicated to the following principles

Principle of Community Investment:

Black Hills prioritizes investing in community programs that promote First Nation cultural awareness, skills development, and business capacity. We believe in enriching and empowering Indigenous communities through both financial contributions and in-kind support.

First Nations Engagement Policy

Black Hills is deeply committed to fostering inclusive, respectful, and equitable work environments for all. With new ownership, including individuals of First Nation heritage, prioritizing First Nation engagement has become a core value. We remain unwavering in our commitment to delivering projects in a socially responsible manner, with respect for human rights and the well-being of local communities.

Black Hills actively seeks engagement and consultation with Indigenous peoples, encouraging participation in our workforce and subcontracting opportunities. We believe economic reconciliation goes beyond employment. It involves purchasing from Indigenous businesses, partnering with Indigenous entities, and fostering meaningful relationships

Building Bridges, Building Partnerships: The Power of Indigenous Engagement in Construction

Black Hills recognizes and fully supports the rights of Indigenous Peoples. We understand that reconciliation and healing are essential for a better Canada. The construction industry, like others, must actively engage in education, reflection, and action to uphold these rights. Black Hills prioritizes First Nation engagement as a core value, reflecting the commitment of our ownership group, which includes individuals of First Nation heritage.
