Motion Industries has announced a joint venture partnership with Tagodi Development Corp., a resource contracting firm that invests in the local Tahltan Nation in northern British Columbia, Canada.
An agreement was recently signed to deliver economic and operational benefits to the community and all involved. The largest focus will be in the mining sector, a major portion of this region’s industrial landscape.
Motion noted it is dedicated to working alongside Indigenous peoples and their communities in British Columbia and beyond, cultivating enduring, trust-based partnerships.
Specifically, the partnership will:
• Support mutual goals for Truth & Reconciliation, including economic prosperity.
• Help build sustainable communities and create economic opportunities, including employment and skill development for the Tahltan People.
• Foster collaboration with local experts to support mining operation growth in northern British Columbia.
Jerry Asp, president of Tagodi Development Corporation and Tahltan Elder, said: “My family is very pleased to have entered into a joint venture with Motion. I believe we will be able to deliver a new level of service to the Tahltan Nation and the mining industry in Tahltan Traditional Territory.”
Brent Pope, Motion senior group vice president, Canada & Sales Excellence, added, “Working with Tagodi, we aim to drive positive economic impact in the mining sector while supporting local development initiatives and honoring the region’s unique cultural heritage. We look forward to deepening our community connection.”
