Aboriginal Engagement & Development
Whether a company is operating in an area that
holds rights & title interests of First Nations,
or is committed to responsible development, many
seek to foster mutually beneficial relationships
with First Nations. The complexity of Aboriginal
relations can be managed most effectively through
meaningful relationship-building efforts and
effective engagement strategies.
First Nations
are increasingly building connections with the
mainstream economy to acquire more tools for
community development and self-sufficiency. These
connections create value when community development
is combined with the knowledge and understanding
needed to steer the opportunities through to
successful completion.
Arbutus can guide you successfully to develop
strategies in:
· Contracting & procurement,
· Human resource development,
· Education & training,
· Aboriginal consultation.
