Our Indigenous Commitment

Strong and Sustainable Partnerships

GeoVerra recognizes the importance and is committed to positive, mutually beneficial partnerships and working relationships with Indigenous Peoples across Canada. Across our business, we know there are opportunities to listen, learn, reflect and take action to support Reconciliation through our work with clients, communities, and industry associations.

Reflecting on GeoVerra’s values of teamwork, work ethic, client focus, working safely, and entrepreneurial spirit, we recognize the intersection with Reconciliation. GeoVerra is committed to a culture of both inclusion and awareness of Indigenous Peoples and their cultures in our day-to-day business. We have a responsibility to create inclusive workplaces, engage Indigenous communities, businesses, and contractors, and collaborate with our clients to support Reconciliation.

We value and are proud of the unique partnerships we’ve been fortunate to develop with Indigenous Peoples across the country and the impact we are creating together. We have a long and successful history working with Indigenous groups on large-scale projects, and our goal as partners is to provide training, mentoring, and employment opportunities. Through projects that create mutually improved economic opportunities, we are increasing our awareness and ability to support initiatives that bring lasting improvement to the quality of life for everyone.

    Partnering and Supporting Indigenous Businesses

    GeoVerra is a proud member of the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB), and is committed to empowering and engaging Indigenous participation in projects and supporting a growing and diverse business community.

      GeoVerra is also pleased to announce its commitment to the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) program. The teams commitment to PAIR reflects GeoVerra’s ongoing efforts to create inclusive opportunities and support the growth and development of Indigenous businesses and communities. Through leadership, employment, business development, and community engagement, we aim to make a positive and lasting impact.

      Since the start, we’ve been supporting important community initiatives where Indigenous truth, reconciliation, and inclusivity is a focus. In the Inuvik and Tukoyaktuk regions of Canada’s Northwest Territories, we’ve partnered with Indigenous-owned Coreman Technical Services to help deliver geomatics services under the Mackenzie Delta Geomatics Ltd. partnership.

      Pipeline construction may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of how to highlight National Indigenous History Month, but for Andrea Thomas, she lives and breathes the connection every day.
