Britco, a modular construction company, is including logos of its aboriginal partners on various buildings located on partners鈥� traditional territories.

The K鈥櫭砿oks First Nation will be the first to have their logo featured next to Britco鈥檚 on buildings leased on their traditional territory.

鈥淭he K鈥櫭砿oks First Nation is a progressive, community-minded group and an important part of the Courtenay and Comox areas,鈥� said Britco president Obie Erickson. 鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled to celebrate our partnership by proudly displaying the K鈥櫭砿oks logo on our local buildings.鈥�

The Langley-based company hopes that showcasing their Aboriginal partners鈥� logos alongside the Britco logo will encourage other B.C. businesses to forge aboriginal partnerships of their own.

鈥淎n important aspect of our business partnerships, like the one we have with Britco, is putting the face of our Nation back on our traditional territory. Britco has come up with the perfect solution for that,鈥� KFN Chief Rob Everson said. 鈥淚 am excited to see what the future holds for partnerships like these.鈥�

Britco will continue to roll out side-by-side logos on their buildings on the traditional territories of their other Aboriginal partners throughout the year.

The K'贸moks First Nation is a key economic stakeholder with their unceded traditional territory. K鈥櫭砿oks traditional territory is the eastern portion of Vancouver Island from the Salmon River watershed in the north to the Englishman River watershed in the south. The territory includes all of the islands and portions of the BC mainland from Forward Harbour in the north to include north-western Texada Island and all of Denman and Hornby Islands in the south.`
