Indigenous Relations

Inter-Rail Transport recognizes and celebrates Canada’s Indigenous heritage, including ancestral lands on which our offices are located and in which we operate.

To acknowledge traditional territories is to recognize the longer history of this land by considering its significance for the Indigenous peoples who lived upon these territories before the establishment of European colonies and also those who continue to live there today.

We respectfully acknowledge that our Edmonton head office is located on Treaty 6 territory and that our Barrière branch is located on Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc territory within the unceded ancestral lands of the Secwépemc Nation. Together these lands represent a traditional gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, Métis, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community.

We have aligned our operating practices with the respect and appreciation we share for our Indigenous partners and will continue to pursue respectful, meaningful, and sustainable relationships with Indigenous communities.

Our Commitment

Inter-Rail Transport will strive for cooperation with Indigenous communities throughout our operating areas. We will work to develop strategies which mutually support and benefit both the company and our Indigenous partners in ways which create sustainable prosperity. We will behave ethically and respectfully at all times, and expect the same from all of our employees, vendors, clients, and partners.
