Partnership Values
What To Expect
What To Expect
We believe in speaking plainly, acting with humility, taking action with purpose, creating benefits with our neighbours, and that the best ideas can come from anyone.

  • Our first priority is to learn local culture and history to build understanding, to establish trust as Partners, and to enhance Nation-led visions. 

  • We invest permanent capital with a Seven Generations mindset that delivers lasting community, economic, and social benefits. 

     

    Forum is looking to continue purchasing and operating economically and environmentally sustainable businesses with long term partners.  We are not seeking transactional relationships, or short-term investments.

  • Partnerships are shaped together to build on each other’s strengths, with shared benefits, responsibilities, and decision-making that respects Indigenous self-determination. 

  • Forum has expertise in operating technically complex businesses including, Ontario’s largest plumbing business, $3.5B worth of real estate nationwide, HVAC services, and a wide variety of urban, social, and energy infrastructure.
