Thorpe is committed to creating a workplace — and a construction industry — where inclusion, equity, and Indigenous economic participation are the norm, not the exception. We actively support the advancement of underrepresented groups and Indigenous peoples through hiring, training, subcontracting, and community engagement.
What That Looks Like at Thorpe:
- Targeted recruitment of Indigenous talent through regional partnerships
- 20% Indigenous field workforce target across projects
- Mentorship, leadership development, and apprenticeship access
- Supplier diversity practices that prioritize Indigenous-owned businesses
- Trauma-informed policies and safe workplace commitments aligned with MMIWG Calls to Justice
- Alignment with the TRC’s Call to Action #92 and BC’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act
We also consult directly with Nations and Indigenous organizations whose territories we operate on — because inclusion starts with listening, learning, and showing up with respect.
