Motion Industries, Inc., a provider of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts and industrial technology solutions, has announced a joint venture partnership with Tagodi Development Corporation, a resource contracting firm investing in the local Tahltan Nation in northern British Columbia.
In a press statement, Motion stated that an agreement was recently signed “with the objective of delivering economic and operational benefits to the community and all involved.”
The largest focus will reportedly be in the mining sector, a major portion of the region’s industrial landscape.
Specifically, the company said, the partnership will support mutual goals for Truth and Reconciliation, help build sustainable communities and create economic opportunities and foster collaboration with local experts to support mining operation growth in northern British Columbia.
“Working with Tagodi, we aim to drive positive economic impact in the mining sector while supporting local development initiatives and honouring the region’s unique cultural heritage,” said Brent Pope, Motion’s senior group vice president, Canada and sales excellence.
“My family is very pleased to have entered into a joint venture with Motion,” said Jerry Asp, President of Tagodi Development Corporation and Tahltan Elder. “I believe we will be able to deliver a new level of service to the Tahltan Nation and the mining industry in Tahltan Traditional Territory.”
