CEDA Indigenous Operator Training Program

Since 2015, we have been working with Indigenous communities to identify candidates seeking Class 1 or Class 3 driver’s licences required for Operator positions. Once licence requirements are met, we pair Indigenous candidates with experienced Operators to receive three months of on-the-job training with continuous support and resources.


Community Investment

We support initiatives that focus on education, safety, health and social wellness to best meet local community needs and priorities. We take pride in our work with local Indigenous communities and look to build upon this by developing loyal, honest and respectful relationships.
