Meet Our Cultural Awareness Trainers

Cultural awareness training is a PAIR program requirement for Committed-level companies. It allows companies to build a framework over a three-phased process within the three-year timeline to integrate a reset in their organizational thinking and approach to working with and impacting First Nation, Métis and Inuit communities.  

Cultural awareness trainers (CAT) are required to be a Certified Indigenous Business (CIB) trained in the PAIR framework and criteria to understand and support the intent of any PAIR-certified organization. Trainers offer various types of instruction but are required to deliver on the themes of history, protocol, etiquette and approach.  

CCIB would like to acknowledge the following Indigenous Businesses that provide cultural awareness training to organizations that have committed to the PAIR program.
