As leaders in the built environment and drivers of sustainable development that supports community goals, it is important that we integrate Indigenous knowledge into our work.
Indigenous Peoples have inhabited this land, now referred to as Canada, for many centuries with their practices woven into aspects of everyday life, such as in transportation, tools, medicine, and culture. This plan acknowledges the need to repair relationships with Indigenous communities. It outlines some of the actions we are taking to work toward reconciliation with Indigenous People in Canada and marks our first official step on the journey towards reconciliation.
At Arup, we’re eager to start this new journey and recognize that it is an ongoing commitment towards repairing relationships with Indigenous communities. We look forward to seeing our members engage with these communities throughout this journey of healing and invite you—our partners—to join us.
