Client: Mining Association of Canada

Project: National and Community Engagement

On behalf of the Mining Association of Canada (MAC), Stratos led regional and community consultations on developing an Aboriginal engagement policy for the mining industry and developed a national advisory panel with a multi-interest design
team. Our firm continues to facilitate MAC's Community of Interest Panel meetings with First Nations, Métis and Inuit representation, first initiated in 2004. As a result of this work, Aboriginal communities have expressed appreciation for outreach efforts
by the industry and there is strengthened confidence and reputation among key stakeholder groups.
