Our Governance

Steel River Governance

 

Steel River’s Governing Principles are deeply rooted in Indigenous values, beliefs, and culture, grounded by a strong sense of community centered around people and relationships. We aspire to be thought and action leaders for positive change in the space where communities, businesses, and industry collaborate.

 

Our Governance Framework provides relevant, flexible, and sustainable practices that support collaboration and accountability across the Steel River Owned Companies.

 

Through various models embedded within our Governance Framework, Steel River continues to explore new ways to reclaim, revitalize, and reaffirm the critical role Indigenous communities play in the advancement of industries across Canada.

Our Governing Principles

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

The foundation for generational prosperity is built upon the right of Indigenous communities and Nations to capture, create, and sustain economic growth. Through a collaborative exploration of a community’s vision, Steel River supports the ability of a community to seek out and realize various types of opportunities.

CULTURAL PRESERVATION

The retention of Traditional Lands and Knowledge is crucial to the preservation of Indigenous culture across Canada. Steel River is committed to helping safeguard traditional land, life experiences, teachings, art, and languages for our local Indigenous communities.

SOCIAL SOVEREIGNTY

Indigenous people are strong and resilient people, who have persevered through systematic injustice that has affected their sovereignty for generations. Steel River acknowledges that First Nations, Inuit, and Metis’ have an inherent right to self-determination and social sovereignty.
