Aboriginal Partners

Horizon North recognizes the importance of building strong relationships with Aboriginal communities in regions where we do business and strives to involve those communities in business partnerships which provide sustainable economic and employment benefits to them. We believe this partnering strategy enhances our service offerings to our customers and encourages education and economic stability within the Aboriginal communities.

Horizon North recognizes the obligations and requirements outlined in the various land claims and treaties signed by the Aboriginal communities. Horizon North believes Aboriginal Rights are to be respected and the Aboriginal people are to be given opportunities to participate and benefit from the activity on their lands.

A primary objective of Horizon North is to maximize the appropriate local and Aboriginal participation in its operations. Horizon North is a significant employer of Aboriginal people and is committed to support training and educational programs to assist young people and local businesses to meet the requirements for employment, safety and environmental excellence.
