We strive to be a good corporate citizen, and one of our
core values is to support and actively encourage local community
involvement in our projects. We place special emphasis
on our relationships with the First Nation bands, recognizing
that as a result of the location of much of our power related
work, we are often guests on First Nation traditional lands
and in their communities.
Our Company has learned that First Nation peoples can positively
contribute to our undertakings in many ways, and that we have
much to learn from the progressive value systems inherent in
their culture.
Our approach to building relationships with First Nation bands
is predicated on our recognition of the deep respect they have
for the land, and the important role that land has in both
their way of life and culture. We also appreciate the
importance of capacity building to many First Nation, and the
role that sustainable development of the land plays in bringing
the First Nation into the economic main stream of Canada, both
now and for future generations.
