EXCELLENCE WORKS HERE
Crucial to Graham’s success and foundation as a company are its various partnerships with Indigenous communities across North America.
These partnerships are built on commitment, integrity, and reliability—the very same core values that define the company’s culture, govern its actions, and produce extraordinary outcomes for every client’s projects.
Graham builds bridges with its Indigenous partners not with steel or concrete, but with trust, respect, and its commitment to forging mutually beneficial working relationships which reflect its values of respect for the proud traditions and culture of Indigenous peoples and communities. These open and ongoing collaborations build truly robust alliances that result in self-sufficient partnerships that are accountable and proudly Indigenous-led.
Through these partnerships, the company generates positive impacts through training, employment, and the development of increased economic capacity, ensuring Indigenous communities, families, and peoples thrive.
Equally, through Graham’s joint ventures, business relationships, and strategic alliances, it plans and builds for long-term success for each party, creating an environment that generates positive effects for Indigenous peoples through training, employment, and the development of sustainable economic capacity within their communities.
The company measures its relationships with Indigenous partners and communities by the actions
it takes, the invested efforts, respect shown, and the integrity of its teams. Graham also has different certifications and memberships, including the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB), Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR), and Northeastern Alberta Aboriginal Business Accreditation (NAABA).
