Why was the Indigenous Marketplace created?


The Indigenous Marketplace was created to connect OECM customers with a growing list of verified Indigenous supplier partners offering a broad range of products and services to support socially responsible procurement.

Guided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Call to Action #92, OECM is committed to advancing economic reconciliation by fostering respectful, mutually beneficial relationships with Indigenous businesses and communities. To support this commitment, we have developed an Indigenous Engagement Framework that directs our efforts in strengthening partnerships both regionally and nationally.

These initiatives enable alignment with TRC #92 while responding to the specific needs of our customers, suppliers, partners, and the communities we serve. Together, they mark an important step in our ongoing journey toward reconciliation, cultural understanding, and collaborative growth with Indigenous partners.
