Spectra Energy Employees

Spectra Energy recognizes and respects the cultural and historical character of the communities we serve and work alongside. We strive to create positive, productive relationships with Aboriginal groups, businesses and communities.

Building strong relationships with Aboriginal communities in our operating areas, means Spectra Energy focuses on four key areas:

  1. Education and Training: We support education and training programs that build capacity and enhance the ability of communities to do business with business;
  2. Employment and Business Opportunities: We are committed to increasing the quantity and quality of Aboriginal participation in our workforce, both through full-time employment and contracting opportunities;
  3. Community Development: We work with communities to identify and support special projects and events. Every year, Spectra Energy employees coordinate, participate and/or support several community events, career fairs and community gatherings;
  4. Communication and Consultation: We work hard to build relationships with the Aboriginal communities in the areas in which we operate. We work with communities and organizations to maintain ongoing communication and to share information, concerns and ideas.
