Indigenous Relationships
At Sandpiper TCB Construction Ltd., we deeply value and honour our relationships with Indigenous communities, recognizing the rich history and contributions they bring to the lands where we live, work, and raise our families.
In acknowledging that we operate on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the xwma8kwayam (Musqueam), Skwxwu7mesh (Squamish), saiflwata7/Selilwitulh (TsleilWaututh), St6:16 (Stoia) , and Sts'ailes (Chehalis) Nations, we express deep respect and gratitude for their enduring relationship with this land. Aligned with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Call 92 on Business & Reconciliation, and the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, we commit to business principles that respect the calls to action from the Truth & Reconciliation Commission - specifically focusing on Call 92. Our aspiration is to foster understanding, respect, and reconciliation with the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island, acknowledging historical injustices and working collaboratively towards a future of unity and shared prosperity.
Commitment to Indigenous Peoples
We proudly implement the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, fostering business practices that align with the Truth & Reconciliation Commission's call to action - specifically emphasizing call 92 on Business & Reconciliation. From the onset, even before it became a federally recognized holiday, we dedicated the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as a day of learning and reflection for our team
Centering Indigenous Voices and Perspectives
At Sandpiper TCB Construction Ltd., we are committed to centering Indigenous voices and perspectives in all aspects of our work. We recognize the importance of respecting and valuing Indigenous ways of life, ensuring that our approach is collaborative and guided by their unique cultural practices. Instead of imposing Western ideology, we actively seek to understand and integrate indigenous values, traditions, and preferences, fostering a harmonious and respectful collaboration.
Building Lasting Relationships
Our team has a history of meaningful partnerships with First Nations Communities, understanding the importance of cultural sensitivity, respect, and collaboration. We have successfully undertaking projects with a focus on building new homes and renovating and repairing existing spaces through CMHC and INAC, contributing to 24 new homes that enhance the Sts'ailes community infrastructure.
