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.
Our Guiding Principles
Meaningful Engagement
We engage with Indigenous communities early and often, ensuring their voices are heard in decisions that affect them.
Respect & Recognition
We acknowledge the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples and respect their inherent rights, culture, and governance.
Economic Participation
We actively seek opportunities to include Indigenous peoples in our workforce and Indigenous businesses in our supply chain.
Cultural Awareness
We provide cultural awareness training to help our team understand and respect Indigenous perspectives and traditions.
Our Commitments
Truth and Reconciliation
We recognise that reconciliation is an ongoing process that requires sustained effort, humility, and a willingness to learn. We are committed to understanding the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada, including the impacts of colonization and residential schools, and to taking meaningful action to address past wrongs.
We encourage all employees to learn about Indigenous history, culture, and contemporary issues, and we provide resources and training to support this journey.
