National Day for Truth & Reconciliation
Con-Tech sites and the office were full of orange this week!
Our work as a company has always gone beyond “the project” on paper or on site and extended into the communities that we work with. We have often done this through local partnerships, employment, accommodations, or community involvement in events, sports teams, etc. A large portion of our work is on-reserve and with that comes an inherent increased connection to those Indigenous communities. Regardless of how much work is or isn’t based on reserve or for Indigenous clients, our continued partnership and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples is very significant both as a company and as individuals.
This summer we had the opportunity to partner with an Indigenous Artist Chris Chipak inchipakwetrust to design an Indigenous-inspired logo. Having the opportunity to work with Chris and structure a logo design around our core values using traditional Indigenous design elements was a great experience.
The design has Turtle Island at the bottom, representing the land where we walk and the earth we move to shape our projects, the river flowing through the “Con-Tech” acknowledging the fluidity and change with respect to the land that our projects bring. The tipi inside of the Eagle is representative of bringing family and community together, raising our young and providing for them. The tipi was usually passed down from generation to generation, representing not only building for ourselves, or for a paycheck, but for the generations that will come after us to benefit from our hard work. The Eagle represents belonging and protection of all, overarching the entirety of the design.
Our commitment to continuing the process of Truth and Reconciliation is very important to us. Let us all continue it together.
