2026-0030 - RP Cultural Safety Program Evaluation

The Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut is inviting qualified Northern Indigenous proponents to submit proposals for the cultural evaluation of its Cultural Safety Program. This initiative seeks to assess the program’s effectiveness through Indigenous evaluation methodologies, ensuring that cultural relevance, community perspectives, and traditional knowledge systems are central to the assessment process. The evaluation aims to identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement in how the program supports cultural safety for Indigenous workers and communities within the jurisdictions served by the Commission. Proposals must be submitted by August 25, 2026, and are open exclusively to Indigenous proponents with demonstrated experience in culturally grounded evaluation approaches, particularly those rooted in Northern Indigenous contexts. The contract is issued under the federal government’s procurement framework and is intended to support meaningful Indigenous participation in shaping workplace safety initiatives. The Commission will evaluate submissions based on expertise, methodological rigor, cultural competence, and the ability to engage meaningfully with diverse Indigenous communities across the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Interested parties should direct inquiries to the Senior Procurement Specialist via the provided contact details.
