TMX Group’s first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

We're proud to have achieved a significant milestone on our Indigenous reconciliation journey, by publishing TMX Group's first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

About Indigenous Reconciliation

Indigenous reconciliation in Canada stems from Canada's history and is about renewing relationships with Indigenous Peoples through respect, partnership, and recognizing rights. For TMX's part, as a steward of Canada's financial system, from which First Nations, Inuit and Métis people have in many cases historically been excluded, we have a responsibility to help build a more equitable future with greater Indigenous inclusion and representation across our organization and industry.

Reconciliation at TMX

Since we committed to Indigenous reconciliation in 2021, we've made meaningful progress together, including hosting Indigenous speakers and vendors, releasing our Indigenous Procurement Guideline, reaching Phase 3 of being PAIR (formerly PAR)-committed, and much more. The Reconciliation Action Plan, developed through extensive engagement with Indigenous organizations, leaders, and experts, focuses on four key pillars:

  • Pillar 1: Capital Realignment – Support increased capital flows to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis businesses, communities, and priorities.
  • Pillar 2: Relationships – Establish long-term relationships with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples and organizations in Canada, and work together to achieve prosperity for Indigenous peoples.
  • Pillar 3: Truth, Learning and Action – Advance learning opportunities within TMX and among ecosystem partners, and publicly demonstrate commitment through transparent reporting.
  • Pillar 4: First Nations, Inuit and Métis Talent – support the current and next generation of First Nations, Inuit and Métis talent at TMX and in the Canadian financial sector.

By sharing this plan we aim to put forth our own commitments, and inspire other companies and organizations as they, too, look to further reconciliation. Notes John McKenzie in the RAP introduction, "Canada's markets are the best in the world, but they can be better – by increasing access and participation for groups that have historically been excluded and strengthening ties to communities across the country. This belief drives our commitment to advancing reconciliation."
