Beyond Attitude Consulting acknowledges we operate in Mi’kma’ki – the unceded territory and ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq First Nation. Our relationship is based on a series of Peace and Friendship treaties between the Mi’kmaq First Nation and the Crown, dating from 1725 to 1779. In 1999 the Supreme Court of Canada, in R v Marshall, upheld the 1752 treaty “which promised Indigenous Peoples the right to hunt and fish their lands and establish trade.”
We also acknowledge that we work and play in many unceded territories and ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples across North America, and respect the rights and traditions of the many First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples therein.
We are all Treaty People.
Improving Forest Safety
Due to the impacts of time zone jumping, I am up way too early in Nanaimo, British Columbia. I am reviewing the presentation I will give later today to over 400 attendees of a safety conference, and anticipating a spectacular sunrise in the panoramic view from my corner hotel room.
I have long believed that Community-Based Social Marketing can have a big impact on occupational health and safety, and I am excited to be working with the British Columbia Forest Safety Council to improve safe behaviours and reduce injury and lost time.
