On June 14, 2022, Engineers Canada partnered with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) for an awareness-raising and information webinar on the CCAB’s impactful Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) Program. Luanne Whitecrow, Director of the PAR Program at the CCAB, led a discussion on the PAR program, a certification that confirms corporate performance in Indigenous relations for companies who are good business partners, great places to work, and committed to prosperity in Indigenous communities. Nicole MacDonald, M.Eng., PMP, Senior Project Manager, Team Lead, and Environmental Technical Lead at Colliers, and chair of Engineers Canada’s Indigenous Advisory Committee, shared her perspective as someone working to achieve this certification in the engineering industry with Colliers, and why the Indigenous Advisory Committee recommended this as a pathway of change and commitment for Engineers Canada.
