Reconciliation
Partnering with Indigenous organizations and communities for this generation and those to come.
Strengthening a reconciliation economy
McConnell has been collaborating with partners on reconciliation for over 20 years. More recently, our focus has been working collectively to advance a reconciliation economy where wealth and resources are equitably shared and sustainably stewarded for this generation and those to come. Our approach is guided by the National Indigenous Economic Strategy’s 107 Calls to Economic Prosperity. We support Indigenous-led organizations that activate these calls. We also partner with Indigenous-led funding collaboratives that prioritize Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
