Following engagement with Indigenous communities, employees, partners, and customers,
Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) is proud to launch its Statement of Commitment to Truth and
Reconciliation and first Indigenous Action Plan, reinforcing the advancement of Truth and
Reconciliation as a key priority for the Corporation.
“This work represents a significant milestone for our organization, but more importantly, it
reflects the voices and experiences shared with us through engagement with Indigenous
communities across Manitoba,” said Satvir Jatana, MPI’s President & CEO. “Through our
Statement of Commitment and Indigenous Action Plan, we are committed to building respectful
partnerships, creating culturally safer spaces, and ensuring Indigenous voices continue to guide
this work.”
MPI’s Statement of Commitment to Truth and Reconciliation:
“Manitoba Public Insurance commits to continue building and strengthening partnerships with
Indigenous Peoples in Manitoba, fostering an inclusive organization that promotes economic
reconciliation, raising awareness, and increasing representation among employees, while ensuring
culturally safer spaces and barrier-free access to the products and services offered.”
To bring this commitment to life in realistic and intentional ways, MPI’s Indigenous Action Plan
shares how the Corporation will continue strengthening relationships with Indigenous Peoples in
Manitoba through meaningful engagement, and measurable action. The plan is organized around
three pillars: Internal Structure, Community Impact and Cultural Empowerment.
Both the statement and plan were informed through engagement and dialogue with Indigenous
people and communities and reflect the priorities identified through those conversations.
Expected actions in the first year of plan include expanding road safety and community
engagement initiatives, reviewing Indigenous employment and representation within the
Corporation, and improving licensing and identification services to support remote communities.
“While this plan establishes a foundation for action, we also view it as a living document that must
continue to evolve through ongoing collaboration and guidance from Indigenous Peoples and
communities in the years to come,” said Jatana.
