Our Vision
The mission of 3P Strategic Alliance Inc. (3P SAI) is to facilitate mutual benefit between Industry and Indigenous groups to seize opportunities of sustainable development while protecting natural resources, Indigenous interests, and the environment within their territories.
We will achieve this by:
• Facilitating partnerships between Indigenous groups (First Nations, Indigenous Businesses) and Industry
• Engagement between Indigenous and Industry groups to mitigate cultural conflicts and misunderstandings through cross cultural training
• Empower Indigenous groups and communities to seize business, economic, and resource development opportunities while protecting cultural practices, traditional territories and the environment
• Ensure community socio-economic issues are addressed
• Ensure “duty to consult and accommodate” practices are honoured
• To accommodate the above there’s a need for “Free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC)
• Capacity-building and empowerment of Indigenous groups to raise the standard of living of First Nations communities
• Employment and training of Indigenous groups
• Conflict resolution
• Government Funding Applications, Business Plans, and Proposal Writing
