Indigenous Commitment Program
Relationships That Create Lasting Value
TULLOCH is committed to honest, open, and mutually beneficial relationships with Indigenous Peoples across Canada. Through trust, respect, good faith, and transparency, we support meaningful participation in work that generates collective prosperity for First Nations communities, individuals, businesses, and future generations.
Three Pillars of Partnership
TULLOCH’s three pillars are built on active engagement with Indigenous communities. They guide how we work together to support people, advance projects, and deliver local impact.
Employment Opportunities
TULLOCH connects with Indigenous community members through projects, career fairs, and discussions with First Nations leadership to understand interest and align people with roles across our disciplines and field programs.
Education and Training
TULLOCH supports practical learning tied to real project work, including field-based instruction, collaborative coursework with Elders, technology demonstrations, and hands-on experience that builds technical skills and knowledge.
Economic Development
TULLOCH works with Indigenous partners to identify project-specific opportunities for local subcontracting, supply purchasing, logistics support, and revenue sharing that contribute to long-term community development.
A Longstanding Commitment to Collaboration
Progress Through Understanding
TULLOCH has a long history of working with Indigenous communities, stakeholders, and businesses across Canada. As a proud member of the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business, we continue to learn from each partner community’s needs, priorities, culture, rights, and traditions to promote self-determination.
This commitment often extends beyond project work. Through ongoing collaboration and our Community Commitment Program, we support local initiatives and strengthen connections that continue beyond a single project.

Indigenous Commitment FAQs
Early conversations are encouraged when exploring a project, funding opportunity, development initiative, or partnership idea. Early engagement helps identify potential roles, training needs, local businesses, technical requirements, and project opportunities before key decisions are finalized.
Helpful details include the community or organization name, upcoming projects, current stage, timing, known technical needs, and the partnership opportunity being explored. If those details are still unclear, TULLOCH can help identify the best next step.
TULLOCH works to understand the unique context, priorities, rights, traditions, and local history of Indigenous partners connected to each project. Where appropriate, we seek guidance from Indigenous leadership and community members to support respectful project delivery.
No. While TULLOCH’s current standing agreements are all in Ontario, TULLOCH works across Canada and welcomes conversations with Indigenous communities and partners in other regions where project opportunities, technical needs, and relationship goals align.
Each agreement type depends on the relationship, project goals, and intended structure. Some agreements focus on collaboration and opportunity identification, while others may include project delivery, revenue sharing, employment, training, or other defined commitments.
