MIYO-WÎCÎWITOWIN: Walking Together in a Good Way
Catalyste+ is committed to reconciliation in every aspect of our work. We will listen to and walk with Indigenous Peoples to move intentionally toward reconciliation.
Commitment to Reconciliation
Catalyste+ is committed to making a meaningful contribution to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. We are aware of the history of colonial policies and practices that have had destructive and devastating impacts on Indigenous Peoples, cultures, and languages in Canada and abroad.
Catalyste+ is committed to strengthening economies to benefit people’s lives in Canada and beyond. Stronger economies for better lives is the vision that guides us. We have a long history of working closely with Indigenous partners and clients in many countries.
We are aware of the socio-economic disparity facing many Indigenous Peoples and recognize it is part of the lasting effects of harmful colonial practices that continue to create vast inequities impacting the lives of Indigenous peoples.
Land Acknowledgement
In the spirit of peace, friendship and respect, we recognize that our work takes place on traditional Indigenous territories across Canada. We also wish to acknowledge that our office in Toronto is located on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. In Montreal, our office is located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka.
Reconciliation
Action Plan
Our goal in developing a Reconciliation Action Plan is that, by learning from Indigenous partners and communities, we will incorporate reconciliation into all aspects of our organization and we will cultivate a culture that listens to Indigenous Peoples and respects their cultures, needs, and aspirations.
