Truth and Reconciliation

Reconciliation requires ongoing learning, listening, meaningful partnership and action. Aviso is committed to this journey. We strive to acknowledge the truth of the past and honour the voices of Indigenous Peoples and organizations. Learning from Indigenous knowledge and worldviews will help us envision a more inclusive wealth management industry and a more economically inclusive approach to doing business that promotes shared prosperity for Aviso and for Indigenous communities. We seek to make an impact by advancing Truth and Reconciliation with an approach grounded in authenticity and trust.

Aviso’s commitment to advancing Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenous inclusion in how we do business is grounded in our efforts to learn, innovate and co-create with Indigenous Peoples and Communities. We recognize the barriers that Indigenous Peoples continue to face in accessing financial services, building generational wealth, and participating in the Canadian economy. As a financial services player, we have a responsibility to work with Indigenous Communities to identify and remove barriers.  We seek to evaluate our products, services, and processes and ensure they are inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the needs and priorities of Indigenous Communities.

We will provide opportunities for our employees to learn from Indigenous-led innovation and leadership. We will encourage and empower employees to think innovatively and do the work to build a culture where Reconciliation is thoughtfully embedded into how we do business. Through building and nurturing meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities, organizations and employees, we will listen to priorities, reflect on perspectives, and reimagine our value proposition and the future of wealth management in a more inclusive way. Aviso recognizes that innovation and wealth are not limited to a singular world view – we will embrace Indigenous knowledge, expertise, and ways of knowing as we seek to lead ethically and responsibly.

We are committed to turning our words into meaningful action. We aspire to lead by example, honour our commitments, and remain transparent and accountable as we support new pathways for Indigenous communities to build and sustain wealth. At Aviso, Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenous inclusion are sustained priorities.
