The Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) program encourages companies to evolve and participate in a growing Aboriginal business economy across Canada. The fastest growing segment of Canada’s population comes within its Aboriginal community, which is also becoming increasingly urbanized. The four performance areas of Leadership Actions, Employment, Business Development, and Community Relationships provide a foundation for the PAR program and represent the core components to successful positive business relations with the Aboriginal community. The PAR framework underwent redevelopment in 2016 to create increased access for program participation for companies that identified challenges with its framework. The frameworks have been modified to a phased approach to allow companies to achieve sustained and successful outcomes.
