Indigenous & Tribal Peoples Right to Self-Determination.
GFoundation is situated in amiskwaciy (Beaver Hills) in Treaty No. 6. We acknowledge and respect that these lands are the traditional and ancestral territories of the Nêhiyawak (Plains Cree), Nakota (Sioux), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nahkawininiwak (Saulteaux Anishnaabe-Ojibwe), and Otipemisiwak (Metis) nations.
GFoundation honours the spirit and intent of the Treaty’s indigenous rights and supports its full implementation. We also, acknowledge and honour that we are Treaty people and have obligations to live in a good and trusting relationship with the first stewards of these lands. We commit ourselves to understanding the generational impact of historical injustices on Indigenous peoples and will make every effort toward reconciliation and maintaining good relations. The official objectives of GFoundation highlight the need to recognize and promote the rights of Indigenous and tribal peoples to self-determination and engage in reconciliation efforts to recognize and implement such rights.
Employment & Worker Rights
The objectives promote the fundamental rights of workers and trade unions and promote the UN International Labour Organisation (ILO) Instruments and measures to defend such rights and encourage cooperation among international and inter-governmental bodies for this purpose.
They also promote the engagement of workers, employers and trade unions in health, safety and environment issues, through sustainable development, workplace and political actions, and advocate corporate accountability measures through public, worker and trade union involvement.
