IFR Workwear also engages the services of other Aboriginal people, such as the building manager who is Metis of Cree descent, and one of IFR’s lawyers, who is a Mohawk Native. We are a proud member of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business. Our values have the inclusion of Aboriginal commitments. Some of these values are: • A commitment to high-quality products and workmanship. • A commitment to a large community involvement: o Lyn was the chairman of the 2019 Canada Winter Games
