Indigenous Reconciliation

Our Journey Towards Reconciliation

In 2023, we created our first Reconciliation Action Plan, a multi-year plan that guides us in taking positive action towards providing opportunities for Indigenous peoples within our organization and beyond.

Land Acknowledgement

Tridel acknowledges our employees gather and our communities are built on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee, Chippewa, and the Wendat peoples, and we are on the Treaty territory with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
