Indigenous Relations

At H2Oil Energy Inc., we believe that meaningful partnerships with Indigenous communities are built on respect, collaboration, and shared benefit — not checkboxes. We recognize the history, traditions, and rights of Indigenous peoples, and we are proud to work alongside communities like the Kelly Lake Métis Settlement in a way that supports both economic participation and cultural preservation.

From hiring and training to procurement and long-term relationship-building, our goal is simple: create opportunities that last, and relationships that matter.

Partnerships

We are proud of our relationship with the Kelly Lake Métis Settlement—one of the only historic Métis communities in British Columbia. With deep roots extending back to Red River, KLMS has a strong identity as stewards of their traditional lands and carriers of rich cultural traditions.

  • Collaborative Delivery: We work with KLMS on project-specific service delivery and workforce development.
  • Early Engagement: Our goal is to engage early, communicate clearly, and create mutual value—on every job and every project.
  • Recognition & Respect: We acknowledge the unique rights and identity of KLMS members, many of whom continue to live and work in the Peace Region.

These partnerships are not transactional—they’re long-term relationships built on mutual respect and shared growth.

Respect & Inclusion

We’re committed to fostering a workplace that values Indigenous identity, voices, and cultural practices.

  • Equal Opportunity: We offer equal access to employment, training, and advancement opportunities.
  • Inclusive Policies: Our policies promote inclusive hiring, cultural awareness, and workplace equity.
  • Cultural Recognition: We recognize and respect the importance of traditional knowledge and language, and the contributions of Métis, First Nations, and Inuit peoples to our shared land and industry.

Inclusion isn’t a program—it’s part of how we operate, hire, and lead.

Community Engagement

We support community-driven initiatives that align with long-term socioeconomic benefit.

  • Youth Engagement: We offer student learning and career exposure programs aimed at Indigenous youth.
  • Economic Participation: We support procurement opportunities and prioritize working with Indigenous-owned businesses.
  • Respectful Communication: We listen first—engaging directly with leadership and community members to understand their goals before offering ours.

We don’t speak for Indigenous communities—we work with them, and we show up with respect.
