Committed to Truth and Reconciliation
At Jazz, we recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing journey and an important responsibility. We are committed to advancing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #92 through continuous education, fostering respectful relationships, and supporting access to aviation careers.
“I believe that Jazz’s diversity initiatives allow us to celebrate our differences, while reinforcing that we are all equal. It recognizes and affirms our ability to bring our distinct perspectives to the workplace and creates an open environment to be our true selves within our corporate culture.”

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Jazz head office is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and traditional territory of the Mi’kmaw people. We acknowledge the Peace and Friendship Treaties, which remain living agreements, and recognize that our employees work and live on treaty lands and traditional territories across Turtle Island. From coast to coast to coast, these lands are home to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, whose histories, cultures, languages, and connections to the land continue to shape this country. As an organization, Jazz acknowledges that we are all Treaty People and that reconciliation requires ongoing learning, listening, respect, relationship-building, and meaningful action.
