In honour of National Indigenous History Month, the MAKR Group of companies, which includes Parkworks, Waterplay, and Wekid Manufacturing, had the opportunity to learn from Lee Anne Cameron, an esteemed member of the Okanagan Indian Band, who joined the team for the first of three collaborative learning sessions focused on Truth and Reconciliation. Lee Anne generously shared her lived experience and breadth of knowledge about the history of Indigenous peoples who inhabit Turtle Island. 🧡 As Canadians, true reconciliation can only occur when we fully understand and acknowledge the truth of our past. We were honoured to spend time with Lee Anne – her contributions to-date have made a lasting impact on our organization, and we eagerly anticipate the remaining sessions. #NIHM2024 #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth #NIPD2024 #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay #TruthAndReconciliation #MAKRGroup #Parkworks #Wekid #Waterplay

Equity is not just about giving everyone the same thing; it's about acknowledging that we all have different needs and ensuring everyone has the support to succeed. Imagine a world where everyone gets what they need to thrive, regardless of their starting point.🌍✨ That’s why, at MAKR, we've incorporated it into our CARE values (Courage, Attitude, Relationships, Equity), which we strive towards every single day. Now, let's revisit our fourth and final pillar: Equity! “Where we start from isn't always equal, and that's unjust, plain, and simple. Stick your pinky out because we're making a second promise, the places we work, the connections we build, and the outcomes we help create are inclusive and diverse, always. The world is a better place when we find ways to recognize imbalances and work hard to correct the course. We'll need your help with this one.” 🤝 #MAKRGroup #Waterplay #Parkworks #WekidMfg #FunBuilds #CompanyValues #Courage #Attitude #Relationships #Equity #PeopleFirstBusiness
