Building Community: In Conversation with RavenStone Construction

"We judge our success by how many jobs we've created," said Dan Williams when he spoke with our Executive Director, Christina Clarke, for our Indigenous Prosperity Podcast. In this episode, we delve into the inspiring story of RavenStone Construction, a locally owned Quw’utsun company deeply rooted in generations of tradition and community values. Established in 2020 with a profound vision to bridge the gap in meaningful employment opportunities for First Nations peoples within the construction industry, RavenStone embodies a commitment to empowerment and growth.

Through their dedication to providing training, mentorship, and apprenticeship programs, RavenStone is not merely constructing buildings but also building futures for Indigenous communities. Kathy emphasizes their collective journey: "We're united in growing together, building capacity, and building that strength for our community." Through its visionary pillars of Relations, Salish, and Community, RavenStone exemplifies a holistic approach to construction.
