Darcy on knowledge and Indigenous connections

Darcy Scott, VP, Distribution Operations, Western Canada, has a story about connection and the power of knowledge. Born with a mixed heritage that includes Mohawk roots, Irish, and French, Darcy's early life didn't have a strong connection to his Indigenous identity.
