ABORIGINAL AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

Canadian Security Management and Canadian Mine Security (CSM/CMS) are proud to have partnered with many interested Canadian First Nations, Aboriginal and Innu communities to offer our specialized security services in Canada.

Our agreements allow for a cooperative effort in creating meaningful local employment opportunities, full training and revenue sharing.

Where feasible, we are open to cooperatively explore mutually beneficial relationships.

Many CSM/CMS staff members have experience working with Canadian Aboriginal Community Members.  All personnel assigned to CSM/CMS projects have and will receive extensive Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Training prior to and during deployments.  

The goal of our Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Course is to help non-Aboriginals work with Aboriginals in ways that convey respect for Aboriginal culture and understanding of the issues that are important to Aboriginal people. 

The course is presented in 4 units:

  1. The Importance of Culture and Cultural Awareness

  2. The Aboriginal Peoples of Canada

  3. Canadian History from an Aboriginal Perspective

  4. Present and Future Challenges for Aboriginal People
