Truth and reconciliation
Truth and Reconciliation is more than just an ideal; it is an ongoing conversation that requires reflection, action, and commitment from all of us. It asks us to confront the difficult truths of our past and to lay the foundation for meaningful healing. Before we can move forward together as a community, we must acknowledge the deep pain caused by historical injustices and recognize our roles in perpetuating them. Though the journey towards reconciliation is challenging, it is one we must embark on collectively.
Vacu-Man is honoured to be part of this important journey. As a family-owned business, we are proud to have Michelle Oldfield, a strong Indigenous woman, as our Vice-President. Alongside her husband, Michelle has helped build Vacu-Man into a company that not only delivers exceptional service but also celebrates the strength and contributions of Indigenous communities. Her leadership sets us apart, and we are immensely proud to employ Indigenous staff who bring invaluable skills, perspectives, and leadership to our team.
What distinguishes Vacu-Man is our deep commitment to inclusivity and community. Our Indigenous staff are not just employees – they are professionals, mentors, and leaders who have been with us for years. Their contributions enrich our workplace and strengthen our connection to the community. We believe in fostering an environment where cultural richness is not only respected but is integral to our success as a business.
INCLUSIVE BUSINESS IN ALL ASPECTS
Vacu-Man is about more than furnace and air duct cleaning. We are about creating an inclusive and supportive workplace where everyone feels valued. By embracing the unique perspectives and experiences of our Indigenous employees, we are building a stronger, more culturally aware company that is truly connected to the community we serve.
We invite you to join us in recognizing the importance of Truth and Reconciliation. Together, we can honour the contributions of Indigenous communities and the remarkable impact they continue to have on businesses like Vacu-Man. Let us continue this journey with respect, understanding, and a shared commitment to a better future.
