Indigenous Relations Advisor at Teck

Building trust and allyship comes from what you do over time, as opposed to what you do in a single moment in time. It is easy to make a commitment at a single point, but the real crux of it is having follow-through on your words and showing that you are consistently walking this journey alongside Indigenous communities.
