Deloitte Advances Support for Indigenous Youth Leadership in Canada

As a testament to its ongoing dedication to supporting future Indigenous leaders, Deloitite Canada has enhanced its partnership with Indigenous Youth Roots, focusing on the expansion of the Centre of Indigenous Policy and Research. The aim is to strengthen and magnify the voices of Indigenous youth in policy and decision-making processes. This collaboration aligns with the four-year anniversary of Deloitte Canada's trailblazing Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), a pioneering initiative to bridge gaps and foster understanding and partnerships with Indigenous communities.

Foundational Commitments and Actions

In June 2024, Deloitte Canada reasserts its promise to support Indigenous leadership through strategic investments and collaborative projects. The RAP was originally introduced with the objective to promote reconciliation through concrete actions—ensuring employment opportunities, education, and inclusive community building for Indigenous peoples. This approach underscores Deloitte's conviction that businesses hold a critical role in advancing societal progress and equality.

Empowering Indigenous Voices

The enhanced partnership with Indigenous Youth Roots signifies a concrete effort by Deloitte to elevate Indigenous perspectives, particularly those of the youth. The Centre of Indigenous Policy and Research serves as a platform where young Indigenous voices can be heard and can actively engage in policy-making. This initiative not only supports Indigenous communities but also provides invaluable insights for Deloitte, their clients, and broader society, fostering a shared understanding and mutual growth.
