Indigenous relations

We know that all urban development has an impact on our environment and the neighbourhoods we operate in. As many of our operations are located on the Indigenous Peoples’ traditional lands, we make sure to take into account interests and opportunities of those communities.

Strengthening our partnership

Bothar has built strong partnerships with Indigenous Peoples and we strive to maintain these relationships by respecting and following our Indigenous guiding principles and continually working with these communities to understand and mitigate impacts.
