On October 8, 2025, Rise received silver-level certification through the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) Program! Cheers filled the room as our team donned silver boas and we had the honour of walking the stage at the PAIR Awards, held on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. This collective achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to walking the talk: creating positive impact within Rise while supporting our clients in advancing Truth and Reconciliation. We’re deeply grateful to our community for walking alongside us and for the continued support from clients as we move forward together on this important journey.

Congratulations to the client-partner organizations that also received PAIR Certification in 2025. It is has been an honour to walk alongside each other as we collectively support the rising presence of Indigenous Peoples across Canada: CBRE, Deloitte, Farm Credit Canada, Imperial Oil, Midwest Surveys, Pibull Energy, SITE Resources Group, Sun Life and TELUS.
