considerations, equipment needs, and project risks to be identified earlier,” Matias explains. SAFETY AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Safety remains central to Cheslatta’s operations. The company promotes a culture in which employees are encouraged to identify hazards, raise concerns and contribute to safer worksites. Ongoing training, regular safety meetings and leadership engagement reinforce that responsibility. Developing and retaining skilled employees is equally important as the business grows. Cheslatta focuses on meaningful career opportunities, training, mentorship, career progression, and employee wellbeing to build a supportive workplace and strengthen its workforce. Its strategic partnerships also provide opportunities for employees and members of the Cheslatta Carrier Nation to work alongside experienced professionals and specialized organizations. “These relationships create opportunities for knowledge transfer, mentorship, apprenticeships, skills development, and clearer pathways into technical and leadership roles as our business continues to grow,” says Matias. For the Nation, access to training and mentorship can help build expertise that extends beyond individual contracts. Developing local capacity is therefore closely connected to the company’s broader plans for sustainable growth. 11 OCT 2026 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
