Each June, Canada observes National Indigenous History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. At PTAG, this month is more than a commemoration—it’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to respect, collaboration, and reconciliation.

A Time to Reflect and Learn

Indigenous communities have shaped this land with deep cultural knowledge, resilient traditions, and sustainable practices for generations. National Indigenous History Month offers us the opportunity to reflect on this legacy and engage with it meaningfully, personally and professionally.

PTAG’s Commitment to Reconciliation and Respect

As a trusted partner in delivering project advisory, PTAG places high value on inclusive practices and respectful engagement. Our commitment is grounded in:

• Upholding Indigenous rights and acknowledging traditional territories in all projects.
• Encouraging cultural competency and awareness across project teams.
• Building environments where Indigenous knowledge and leadership are welcomed and celebrated.
• Advancing reconciliation through long-term, respectful partnerships.

Partnership Spotlight: PTAG and Makhos – PM7G: A Joint Venture Rooted in Indigenous Values

One of the cornerstones of our reconciliation journey is PM7G —a joint venture between PTAG and Makhos, an Indigenous-owned and operated consultancy. This collaboration is more than a business alliance—it’s a shared vision for a more inclusive and sustainable future, grounded in Indigenous values, mutual respect, and long-term thinking.

PM7G integrates Indigenous worldviews, values, and long-term stewardship principles into project delivery frameworks. Rooted in the philosophy of planning and decision-making for the benefit of the next seven generations, this model aligns naturally with PTAG’s commitment to building lasting, meaningful infrastructure.

Through this partnership, PTAG and Makhos are:

• Co-developing project governance models that reflect shared leadership and mutual respect.
• Supporting Indigenous participation in major capital projects—from early planning through execution and close-out.
• Fostering capacity-building within Indigenous communities through mentorship and skills transfer.
• Bridging Western project management practices with traditional Indigenous knowledge systems.

This partnership underscores our conviction that reconciliation and responsible project delivery are mutually reinforcing. Together with Makhos, we are working to ensure that infrastructure projects not only serve economic needs but also honour cultural heritage and create generational value.

A Continued Commitment

As we mark National Indigenous History Month, we recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing journey. At PTAG, we are proud to support Indigenous inclusion—not just during June, but throughout every project, every partnership, and every decision we make.
