We're proud to highlight the story of Steven Vaivada, the founder and president of Scout Engineering & Consulting Ltd., an Indigenous-owned and operated firm dedicated to supporting First Nations and fostering meaningful collaboration with Indigenous communities. Steven recognized a critical gap—many Indigenous communities still lack essential infrastructure like clean drinking water and safe roads. Driven by the frustration of creating a lasting change, he founded Scout in 2017 with a mission to blend modern engineering expertise with Indigenous wisdom. Since then, Scout has taken on increasingly larger projects, delivering impactful results in employment and procurement for First Nation and Métis communities. Their unique approach—combining modern engineering, project management, and procurement practices with Indigenous knowledge—sets them apart. Scout has made a significant impact, creating hundreds of jobs and securing nearly half a billion dollars in contracts for Indigenous communities. Steven’s vision for equity and prosperity continues to guide Scout's success, expanding opportunities and building partnerships across provinces. Truth and Reconciliation calls for listening to Indigenous voices. Let’s reflect, learn, and nurture a better future—together. #CAMSC #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousStories
