This commitment includes promoting the use of Indigenous languages and supporting efforts of First Nations, Inuit and Métis to revitalize and maintain them. People: CBC/Radio-Canada aims to enhance Indigenous representation across all organizational levels by ensuring equitable access to employment opportunities, leadership roles, and professional development opportunities. Relationships: The broadcaster will foster stronger ties with Indigenous Peoples by increasing the participation of Indigenous-owned vendors in its procurement processes, thus contributing to economic reconciliation. Furthermore, CBC/Radio-Canada pledges to deepen collaborations with Indigenous creators and key organizations like APTN and the Indigenous Screen Office.
