On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge the importance of this day in recognizing the history and lasting impacts of residential schools on Indigenous communities across Canada.

At FWS, we believe that meaningful partnerships are the foundation for long-term success. For years, we’ve built strong relationships with Indigenous communities across Canada, not only through projects but by fostering growth, opportunity, and collaboration. Our commitment to Indigenous partnerships is anchored by our Four Pillars—a framework that represents our dedication to employment, business development, profit sharing, and social investment.
