Our Work in Action
Our Reconciliation Action Plan focuses on educating peers and creating opportunities for collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to advance economic development and reconciliation.
People
Deepening Cultural Understanding
We're encouraging all employees to take the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation course - an important step in building awareness and fostering respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples.
Engage, Learn, Reflect
Employees have participated in meaningful activities like panel talks, cultural performances, and the Blanket Exercise - designed to deepen understanding of Indigenous experiences and history.
Honouring the Land We’re On
We’ve refreshed our land acknowledgment practices to recognize the traditional territories where we build and work - now embedded in all new communities and as part of company events.
Collaboration
Investing in Future Leaders
Through our partnership with the Urban Indigenous Education Centre, we welcomed youth interns to gain hands-on experience and explore career pathways - supporting the next generation of Indigenous talent.
Supporting Indigenous Education
For five years, we’ve proudly contributed to Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures Fund, helping Indigenous youth pursue post-secondary education and achieve their academic goals.
Advancing Industry Reconciliation
In collaboration with the Urban Land Institute, our leaders engaged in cultural training and dialogue, while the Shared Path Initiative launched its first-ever reconciliation guide for the real estate and development industries. Read the guide here.
Procurement
Strengthening Supplier Diversity
Deltera is now a member of the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council (CAMSC), reinforcing our commitment to inclusive procurement and economic reconciliation.
Embedding Reconciliation in Procurement
We’ve updated select contracts for communities across the GTA to reflect our values - ensuring Indigenous inclusion and reconciliation are considered throughout our procurement processes.
Partnering with Indigenous Businesses
We’re actively seeking opportunities to work with Indigenous-owned businesses - supporting economic empowerment and building meaningful partnerships. One example: collaborating with artist Patrick Hunter on the Queen Church hoarding project.
