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

An agreement was recently signed with the objective of delivering economic and operational benefits to the community and all involved. The largest focus will be in the mining sector, a major portion of this region’s industrial landscape. Specifically, the partnership will:
- Support mutual goals for Truth & 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.
 
In response to the partnership, Jerry Asp, President of Tagodi Development Corporation and Tahltan Elder, comments, “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 and Sales Excellence, adds, “Working with Tagodi, we aim to drive positive economic impact in the mining sector while supporting local development initiatives and honoring the region’s unique cultural heritage. We look forward to deepening our community connection.”

This is a long-term, positive economic impact for the Tahltan Community and British Columbia. Motion is dedicated to working alongside Indigenous peoples and their communities in BC and beyond, cultivating enduring, trust-based partnerships.
