Progressive Aboriginal Relations™

Progressive Aboriginal Relations™ (PAR) is an online management and reporting program that supports progressive improvement in Indigenous relations, and a certification program that confirms corporate performance in Indigenous relations at the bronze, silver or gold level. Certified companies promote their certification with a PAR logo that signals to communities that they are good business partners; great places to work, and are committed to prosperity in Indigenous communities.

 

The PAR program encourages companies to evolve and participate in a growing Indigenous business economy across Canada. The fastest-growing segment and Canada’s population comes within its Indigenous community, which is also becoming increasingly urbanized.  These four performance areas; Leadership Actions, Employment, Business Development, and Community Relationships provide a foundation for the PAR program and represent the core components to successful positive business relations with the Indigenous community.
