September 30th is Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a time to remember the children who never returned home, to honour Survivors, and to reflect on the ongoing impact of residential schools on Indigenous Peoples and communities.
At Landmark, we understand that reconciliation is not a single act, but a continuous responsibility. It is a journey we are only beginning, and one that requires us to listen carefully, learn humbly, and take meaningful action over time.
This year, we are introducing Landmark’s new Reconciliation Policy. This is an important first step to guide our work. We know that intentions must be paired with action, and we look forward to putting concrete measures in place over the coming year. We acknowledge the unique histories, rights, and lived experiences of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, and we are committed to fostering a workplace and business culture where those voices are heard, respected, and valued.
Our Commitments
We know this journey will take time, and our priority will be to put practical steps in place that bring these commitments to life and guide our progress over time:
- Employment and Inclusion
We aim to create opportunities and remove barriers for Indigenous Peoples in corporate Canada by:- Engaging with Indigenous employment networks.

Supporting Indigenous Peoples and businesses contributes to stronger communities, fosters inclusion, and helps create a more equitable future. We recognize that this is an ongoing journey, and we approach it with honesty, accountability, and a willingness to learn.
