Business and Reconciliation

We call upon the corporate sector in Canada to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a reconciliation framework and to apply its principles, norms, and standards to corporate policy and core operational activities involving Indigenous peoples and their lands and resources.

This would include, but not be limited to, the following:

i. Commit to meaningful consultation, building respectful relationships, and obtaining the free, prior, and informed consent of Indigenous peoples before proceeding with economic development projects.

ii. Ensure that Aboriginal peoples have equitable access to jobs, training, and education opportunities in the corporate sector, and that Aboriginal communities gain long-term sustainable benefits from economic development projects.

iii. Provide education for management and staff on the history of Aboriginal peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal–Crown relations. This will require skills based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.

Capacity Building

At Catalyst Haven, we believe in empowering organizations with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to sustainably drive advocacy and systemic change. Our Capacity Building services focus on equipping your team to lead confidently in areas such as advocacy planning, digital storytelling, AI integration, policy communications, and data-informed decision-making. The goal is to ensure your organization can advance its mission with long-term independence and impact.

This work directly supports the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Call to Action 92 on Business and Reconciliation. Indigenous Peoples continue to face disproportionate impacts within health, social, and justice systems due to colonization, systemic inequities, and intergenerational trauma. At Catalyst Haven, we are committed to leveraging strategy and advocacy to challenge stigma, promote culturally safer approaches, and support Indigenous-led solutions that prioritize healing, self-determination, and community care.

Continuous education

At Catalyst Haven, we recognize that reconciliation is a lifelong journey, and we are committed to being in a constant state of growth, learning, and accountability. We welcome opportunities to be called in at any time and appreciate the chance to deepen our understanding, challenge our perspectives, and strengthen our approach to ethical, inclusive digital communications.

At Catalyst Haven Digital Communications, we are committed to ongoing education and training for our team to ensure our work aligns with Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Call to Action 92.

Growth

As we grow, we are committed to proportional representation of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples within our organization, ensuring that Indigenous voices are centered in decision-making and leadership roles. Through these efforts, we strive to build a team that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and upholds reconciliation as a fundamental part of our mission.
