BC Infrastructure Benefits was formed by the Province of British Columbia to operationalize the new Community Benefits Agreement(CBA). One of the CBA’s commitments is to provide comprehensive Indigenous cultural competency training—with local Indigenous communities—to all workers on CBA projects. Brenda Ireland, an Anishinaabe Elder, developed BCIB’s Indigenous cultural competency training (a part of BCIB’s Respectful Onsite Initiative). Brenda has worked with BCIB for four years. She began as a contractor, however, she was quickly recognized for her leadership, commitment, and passion for implementing the CBA. She is now BCIB's Executive Director of Indigenous Relations and the Respectful Onsite Initiative. When developing the cultural competency program for the Respectful Onsite Initiative (ROI), Brenda was guided by BCIB’s mandate: to foster a workplace free of discrimination and harassment and is respectful of the cultural differences of all participants; to provide apprenticeships, skills training and employment opportunities on a priority basis to Indigenous people, women in non-traditional work, people with disabilities, and other disadvantaged groups to achieve appropriate goals reflective of the local area of the project; and to ensure that that the needs of Indigenous peoples and other equity groups to are respected and facilitated through training and employment on construction projects. Under Brenda’s leadership, ROI is delivered by a group of 12 dedicated and compassionate individuals from BCIB’s Indigenous Relations and ROI team. Unique to the construction industry, this team supports underrepresented individuals including Indigenous apprentices and trainees by providing training, support and resources to create safe and welcoming worksites. But more than that, they foster meaningful relationships with partner organizations to ensure BCIB’s construction sites are diverse, equitable and inclusive.
