Motion Industries, Inc., a distributor of maintenance, repair, and operation replacement parts and a provider of industrial technology solutions, has entered into a partnership with Tagodi Development Corporation. This resource contracting firm invests in the local Tahltan Nation in Northern British Columbia, Canada. 

Advancing opportunities for Indigenous peoples in Northern B.C. 

The agreement focuses on the objective of delivering economic and operational benefits to the community. The largest focus will be work and training in the mining sector, a major portion of the region’s industrial landscape.

Specifically, the partnership will:

• Support mutual goals for Truth and Reconciliation, including economic prosperity 
• Help build sustainable communities and create economic opportunities, including employment and skill development for the Tahltan People
• Foster collaboration with local experts to support mining operation growth in Northern British Columbia 

Leadership’s thoughts on the new partnership 

Jerry Asp, president of Tagodi Development Corporation and Tahltan Elder, said: “My family is very pleased to have entered into a joint venture with Motion. I believe we will be able to deliver a new level of service to the Tahltan Nation and the mining industry in Tahltan Traditional Territory.” 

Brent Pope, Motion’s senior group vice president, Canada & sales excellence, added: “Working with Tagodi, we aim to drive positive economic impact in the mining sector while supporting local development initiatives and honouring the region’s unique cultural heritage. We look forward to deepening our community connection.” 

Motion is dedicated to working alongside Indigenous peoples and their communities in B.C. and beyond, cultivating enduring, trust-based partnerships.
