Reconciliation Action Plan
We’re proud to announce the formal endorsement of our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). We began work on our Reflect RAP in mid-2022 as a commitment to helping create a better future. The journey since then has been simultaneously rewarding and challenging.
We’re building our understanding of what best practice First Nations engagement looks like in project work at the same time as embracing a broader scope of personal and professional involvement in reconciliation. The dialogue and conversations we’ve started are bringing our studio team together and reshaping our practice.
