Our workplace is Respectful
Why it Matters

Indigenous Partnerships & Respect

Honoring the lands we work on and the communities we work with.

The Indigenous Territories We Work In
We work on Indigenous lands across British Columbia. Before each project, we identify and record the specific Indigenous Nation(s) whose territories we are operating in. We confirm this using the BC Assembly of First Nations and the Government of BC First Nations A–Z Listing. We add the correct Nation names to project plans and site orientations, and update them if we learn more. We have not yet established formal contacts with Nations; that work is planned.

Our Commitment to Inclusivity in Our Crews
Where we are today: - Indigenous crew members are not currently part of our workforce. What we are working toward: - Include Indigenous candidates through respectful outreach and fair, transparent hiring. - Offer cultural awareness training to support a culturally safe work environment. - Work with local Nations on employment opportunities as relationships develop.
Our Commitment to Respect in Our Operations
Where we are today: - We acknowledge Indigenous territories and expect respectful conduct in our operations. What we are working toward: - Once contacts are established, provide early, plain-language information about upcoming work to the relevant Nation(s) and listen for direction. - Explore contracting and employment opportunities with local Nation(s) where appropriate. - Adapt methods, schedules, and camp practices as needed to meet commitments we make through those discussions.

Diversity in Hiring and Culture

A mix of voices creates better teams and better work.

Members of the Cache project team are grateful to live, work, and be in relationship with people from across many traditional and unceded territories, covering all parts of the land known as British Columbia, Canada. We thoughtfully offer this acknowledgement recognizing that reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples' is a commitment we all share as Canadians. We are grateful to live on this land and are committed to reconciliation, decolonization, and building relationships in our communities and workplaces. Land acknowledgements are one small step towards reconciling the relationships between settlers and Indigenous Peoples, in Canada. Reconciliation is a current and ongoing process. Being mindful of our participation is another step on the path of healing.
