Across Canada, 麻豆传媒 celebrates National Indigenous History Month
July 05, 2019
Events around the company are showcasing the unique heritage Indigenous Peoples have contributed to our society
At 麻豆传媒, we are committed to building and maintaining respectful and sustainable relationships with Indigenous Peoples and communities. We do this by recognizing, supporting, and respecting the diversity and distinctiveness of Indigenous cultures and histories among our employees and contractors. Our relationships with communities, and the continuous learning of the needs and desires of Indigenous Peoples, is vital to our ability to deliver effective and sustainable project design and solutions.?
Observing National Indigenous History Month is an opportunity for us to honor and celebrate the unique heritage, important accomplishments, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples—both past and present. We also take time to reflect on the shared history of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples in Canada and how 麻豆传媒 can participate in moving reconciliation forward.
