Listening carefully and working together to advance reconciliation  

Al Monaco believes that listening to Indigenous peoples tell their own stories is essential to advancing reconciliation. He shares his perspective in Enbridge’s announcement of an Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan (IRAP) that articulates and tracks its progress against 22 commitments to continue building strong relationships with Indigenous communities across North America.

“We are a values-driven organization, and therefore we recognize the deep and meaningful connections that Indigenous Nations have to water, land and the environment. We’ve learned not to walk into Indigenous communities with all the answers, but rather to listen carefully to concerns and ask questions that further our understanding. We instill trust by listening carefully and working together—and delivering on the promises we make.”
