OECM’s Indigenous Marketplace reflects our commitment to social procurement and economic reconciliation, in alignment with TRC Call to Action 92. Through this initiative, 40+ qualified Indigenous suppliers have been vetted to help municipalities advance their Indigenous engagement journey in a practical and compliant way.

This session will cover:

  • Why and how the program was developed
  • The Supplier Selection Tool and how to use it to find the right Indigenous supplier for your needs
