Indigenous Relations

Building lasting partnerships through respect, reconciliation, and shared prosperity

Land Acknowledgement

Pivot Airlines acknowledges the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples across Canada. We recognise the historical and ongoing contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples to this land. We are committed to meaningful reconciliation and building lasting partnerships based on mutual respect, trust, and shared benefit.

As an aviation company operating across Canada, we have the privilege of connecting communities—including many Indigenous communities in remote regions. With this privilege comes responsibility. We are committed to being a positive force in the journey toward reconciliation.

Truth and Reconciliation

We recognise that reconciliation is an ongoing process that requires sustained effort, humility, and a willingness to learn.

We encourage all employees to learn about Indigenous history, culture, and contemporary issues, and we provide resources and training to support this journey.
