The engagement initiative will strengthen relationships between Malahat Nation, Department of National Defense and the Canadian Armed Forces, and industry stakeholders; increase awareness of defence-sector opportunities; support the identification of strategic partnerships related to the Nation's Business Park and Deep Water Port Project; build community capacity for meaningful participation in defence and security discussions; and foster an inclusive engagement process that captures community perspectives, priorities, and solutions to inform future development initiatives.
The purpose of the Indigenous Reconciliation Program is to support the alignment of the Department of National Defence and CAF operations and engagement with the UN Declaration and to support consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples (First Nations, the Métis Nation, and Inuit).
