Reconciliation and Relationships

Table of Contents

Indigenous Peoples are included in all lifecycle phases of the infrastructure we regulate.

  • We are the Crown Consultation Coordinator for projects assessed by the CER. Since 2019 we have consulted with 120 distinct Indigenous communities, Nations and self-identifying collectives (19 Métis and 101 First Nations)
  • We train and work jointly with Indigenous Monitors on projects, including through the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and Line 3 Replacement Project Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committees (IAMCs).
  • The CER involves Indigenous communities in regulatory framework improvements by providing funding and tailored engagement opportunities to gather meaningful input on how we regulate.
  • Through both the IAMCs and our work on the NGTL System, we engage regularly with at least 281 First Nation and Métis Communities.

Reconciliation, investing in enduring relationships, and implementing the UN Declaration guides how we fulfill our mandate.
