Testimonials
What our clients say about us
“I can’t tell you how much gratitude we have for you and FPG! Everyone from the Executive Management Team was saying how beautiful, spot on, insightful and brilliant the session was. And a lot of them have done this kind of session with other groups and made a point to tell me how much this was in a different league. “
Dr. Eloise Tan
VP of Inclusion, Sustainability and Engagement, Canadian Blood Services
“HBC selected First Peoples Group to assist with the development of a robust reconciliation framework, which encompassed a coast-to-coast-to-coast journey to meet with indigenous communities in Canada. With great humility, Guy and Bob served as our guides, and facilitated highly informative consultations with First Nations, Métis and Inuit rightsholders. These sessions positioned our company to craft meaningful reconciliACTION imperatives, and build a compass to direct future activities in this regard. Guy and his team continue to serve as trusted advisors, and I can attest to the quality of their work and character.”
