Understanding the distinction between Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Truth & Reconciliation is crucial for any business operating in Canada. While DEI provides broad guidelines for creating inclusive environments, Truth & Reconciliation requires specific, actionable commitments to Indigenous sovereignty and economic partnerships. This distinction matters because implementing Call to Action 92 means going beyond diversity initiatives to incorporate Indigenous consultation, employment strategies, and procurement policies. Organizations that recognize and act on these differences today will be better positioned to build meaningful Indigenous partnerships, meet evolving regulatory requirements, and contribute to Canada's reconciliation journey.
