Indigenous Relationships
Building relationships for over 25 years
The Geotech Group of Companies has built relationships within the communities we’ve worked for over 25 years.
Indigenous Engagement and Relationship
Geotech recognizes the importance of developing and maintaining strong relationships with the communities where we work, and believes these connections are essential to our current and future success. For over 25 years, we have built and nurtured these relationships, adapting to evolving social expectations, including the release of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Calls to Action on June 2, 2015. Specifically, Geotech has embraced TRC Call to Action #92, which promotes the inclusion of Indigenous peoples in core operational activities involving their lands.
We demonstrate this commitment by establishing formal and informal agreements with many of the communities where we operate (the first of which was signed in 2013), promoting Indigenous employment opportunities, and engaging Indigenous communities in meaningful ways.
Indigenous Agreements
Geotech and its parent company, ConeTec, are proud to have established partnerships with Kitikmeot Inuit Association/Kitikmeot Corporation (Geotech Ekutak) and Mikisew Cree First Nation (Mikisew-ConeTec); and to have worked with over 20 Indigenous communities within Canada to foster sustainable and responsible business practices that drive economic development, job creation, training, and business opportunities for local Indigenous members
