The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, March 27, edition that Canadian National Railway has released a new indigenous relations policy. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that the policy includes principles on cultural awareness and employee engagement, people and employment, community engagement and relationships, economic reconciliation, and environmental stewardship and safety. CN chief legal officer Olivier Chouc said in a news release: "CN is deeply committed to reconciliation and continuing to work collaboratively alongside Indigenous communities across our network. By acknowledging our past and embracing our responsibilities, we are laying a stronger foundation to continue to develop respectful, sustainable and mutually beneficial relationships with Indigenous peoples." The new policy follows CN's acknowledgment of the historical role railways have played as part of colonial policies. That acknowledgment was published in December on the heels of the council's mass resignation. CN is one of a number of major Canadian corporations that have appointed indigenous advisory councils in the past few years in response to a call to action by the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
