PAIR (Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations) is a certification program offered by the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB) that assesses and confirms corporate performance in Indigenous relations. It provides a framework for companies to improve their Indigenous relations policies and signals their commitment to Indigenous communities. 

Alectra is actively participating in the PAIR program. We have completed Phase 1 of our PAIR journey offered by the CCIB, marking an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to building meaningful, respectful, and mutually beneficial relationships with Indigenous communities. We are actively working on Phase 2, which will deepen our commitments to reconciliation in 2026, before moving to Phase 3 implementation. 

Through PAIR, we are demonstrating our commitment to advancing reconciliation, economic development, and social responsibility. By fostering positive Indigenous relations, we are seeking to contribute to the social, economic, and cultural well-being of these communities. 
 

At Alectra, our people are the energy behind everything we do. Bright, curious and purpose-driven, we work together to energize a brighter future. 

Our Talent Acquisition team is always interested in connecting with Indigenous talent and organizations to learn about expectations and you can find them at numerous job fairs and events such as the AISES (Advancing Indigenous People in STEM) Career Expo.

Alectra’s Procurement and Supply Chain teams are currently exploring Supplier Diversity practices, including identifying opportunities to increase access for Indigenous owned suppliers and examining the establishment of a supplier database that identifies supplier diversity groups, supporting more intentional procurement planning and Indigenous business development.

Through its subsidiary, Alectra Energy Solutions, we have and continue to undertake endeavours to include Indigenous participation in proposed utility scale projects. We strive for a true partnership, which includes equity participation in the projects; scholarships for community members looking to enter the energy sector; employment opportunities on the projects themselves; and equal board representation in the joint proponent corporation(s) for the projects.
