How First Nations Umbrella helps

We coordinate the initial requirement, supplier information, proposal comparison and approved next steps.

Related-business disclosure: GreenBoost is a related business in which First Nations Umbrella’s principals have an ownership interest. GreenBoost supply or application work and First Nations Umbrella advisory work have separate scopes, contracts, fees and responsibilities. Relevant compensation is disclosed before a recommendation or commitment. The Nation retains the choice to compare and appoint other providers.

Product suitability, specifications, application rates, expected results and delivery responsibilities require confirmation for the specific site.

Fuel-station opportunities

Gen7 fuel stations and Nation participation

Our close relationship with Gen7 Fuel supports discussions about fuel-station development, site procurement and opportunities for Nations to participate through revenue-sharing or ownership arrangements. We help review site options, access and servicing needs, the commercial case and the people required to advance a defined project.

Any participating Nations, ownership interests, revenue-sharing terms, funding and delivery responsibilities are agreed for the specific project. About Gen7 Fuel.

Planning and delivery providers

Infrastructure and development

Housing, roads, water and wastewater requirements can begin with a project brief, existing plans and a review of suitable providers.

Qualified planning, design and delivery professionals define their own scope and responsibilities.

Separate provider assessment

Air purification and odour control

Through First Nations Purified Air, explore suitable equipment and service options for homes, workplaces and community facilities. An assignment can begin with the space, intended use, existing ventilation and operating requirements.

System selection and any performance claims require the relevant technical evidence and operating conditions.

Recreation and community facilities

Golf, recreation and community spaces

TRU Nations Golf brings a separate focus on golf and recreation centres. Opportunities can include year-round participation, youth engagement and local operating roles.

Facility scope, economics, delivery and programming are assessed for each project.

Environmental applications

Dust suppression

Explore GreenBoost dust-suppression options for a defined road, site or other suitable application. Review the requirement, proposed product, application plan and commercial terms.

Suitability, specifications and delivery responsibilities require confirmation for the assignment.

Qualified technical providers

Water treatment assessment

Royce’s water-treatment experience and provider connections can help organize the initial needs assessment and the specialist questions that follow.

Water quality, treatment design, technical suitability and ongoing operation require qualified review.

Under assessment

Emerging fire-suppression opportunities

Drone-based fire-suppression systems are an area being explored. A discussion can establish the need and the evidence required to assess potential applications.

Availability, performance, suitability and provider scope are not yet established for an assignment.

Nation information priorities

Data sovereignty and AWS cloud support

Assess information governance, Canadian hosting options, access, security and delivery responsibilities with qualified technical specialists. Explore the dedicated data sovereignty service.

An initial assessment and any implementation or ongoing cloud support have separately agreed scope and costs.

One priority at a time.

The starting point is a useful, manageable assignment. We establish the work and provider responsibilities before expanding the scope.

Related businesses remain separate. Each supply, specialist or coordination engagement identifies who contracts, who delivers and who is responsible for the result.

Start with one priority.
