Managing Director’s Statement on Indigenous Reconciliation

At Strat First Inc., we view Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation as both an internal responsibility and an external commitment. They require thoughtful planning, strong relationships, and clear communication.

Over the past twenty years, I have had the privilege of working directly in Indigenous Relations across Canada, including my time with Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. These experiences guide how I lead our firm and how we support the organizations we work with.

I believe in good business relationships, meaningful outcomes, and shared benefit for communities, businesses, and investors. When we partner with clients, we focus on goals that are achievable, properly resourced, and aligned with the expectations of all parties involved.

My work across corporations, governments, and Indigenous communities has shown that Reconciliation is built through steady effort, practical planning, and genuine engagement. At Strat First Inc., we are committed to setting our clients up for success and to ensuring that Indigenous People, Communities, and businesses also share in the wins that come from strong projects and strong partnerships.
