Indigenous Relations

Committed to positive engagement with our Indigenous communities.

Our sites of operation sit within the traditional territories of Indigenous communities.

Therefore, we will:

Work to build and maintain positive, long-term relationships with local Indigenous communities that are based on mutual understanding, respect, open and honest communication and trust;
Develop strategies in several key areas including employment, economic development, education, training and community support that appropriately reflect the interests of Indigenous groups and BWXT;
Enter into appropriate relationships with communities wishing to be informed and involved with these key areas;
Enhance employee understanding of Indigenous history and culture and the role Indigenous communities play in Canada and in our business;
Identify opportunities to increase our knowledge of the local environment and ways we can work together with Indigenous communities to preserve or enhance that environment for all to enjoy.

We recently introduced an Indigenous Relations Roadmap for our operations in Canada.

The Roadmap is a leadership guide to advancing Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation across our business efforts in an aligned and meaningful way.
