For more than 30 years, RBC has been committed to the reconciliation journey, working with Indigenous Peoples and communities through specific initiatives designed to generate genuine and meaningful change. Our annual partnership report – A Chosen Journey – celebrates Indigenous successes and affirms our commitment to the Indigenous community. Since 2009, A Chosen Journey has demonstrated our long history of partnering with Indigenous communities across Canada.
A Chosen Journey
In this year’s A Chosen Journey – RBC Indigenous Partnership Report, the stories we share show how the future is being shaped by Indigenous excellence, wisdom and opportunity. Through the community work we are contributing to, we are joining with our Indigenous partners because this is the way of the future, and the way we have been doing things for more than 30 years.
