“Rise supports us across strategy, Indigenous procurement, community engagement, employee benefits, and philanthropy — it was a comprehensive partnership, not a single initiative.”
Amanda Pate, Director of Inclusion and Belonging, Sun Life
From intention to impact – grounded in Indigenous knowledge, we are catalysts leading transformative change in Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenous inclusion.
As an Indigenous-led organization, we work relationally, providing step-by-step guidance alongside client-partners. From sharing knowledge to building confidence and readiness for community engagement to co-creating and implementing strategic plans, we support organizations at every stage of their Reconciliation journey - from foundational learning to implementation and accountability.
