As Mayor of Halifax and on behalf of Regional Council it is my distinct pleasure to extend warm greetings and a special welcome to all attending the 8th Annual Conference on Indigenous Consultation and Engagement Atlantic.
Halifax Regional Municipality is located on the ancestral and unceded grounds of the Mi’kmaq people in the district of Mi’kma’ki. We acknowledge the Peace and Friendship Treaties signed in this Territory and recognize we are all Treaty People.
Bridging Perspectives to Honor Rights, Forge Relationships, and Fulfill Responsibilities
Indigenous consultation in Atlantic Canada faces distinct and unique challenges. While significant strides have been made in addressing cumulative effects, reconciling overlapping territories, and advancing provincial UNDRIP implementation, the journey towards full realization and integration continues.
new letter from the mayor coming soon
Delegates of the 8th annual conference will be provided a non-partisan platform to make meaningful connections and engage in important discussions with Indigenous leaders, natural resource experts and key government officials.
Halifax is the place to be with its dynamic and intriguing mix of heritage and culture. Indeed, the Mi’kmaq people have called this land home for more than 13,000 years. A marquee destination embracing a diversity of people, communities, shops, restaurants and nightlife, our city will present you with a truly original experience.
Our culturally rich port city takes pride in our reputation as one of the world’s most hospitable and welcoming destinations. During your stay, I hope you take time to explore some of the rich history, culture, and natural beauty our region offers
I want to acknowledge, with gratitude, the Canadian Institute Indigenous Affairs Team and sponsors for hosting this important and timely event here in Halifax.
I wish you much success and trust your visit will be a truly memorable experience.
With increased demand for urgent solutions to economic and infrastructure challenges, governments and indigenous groups face the tough task of managing competing priorities and balancing cumulative effects. Meanwhile, industries strive to accelerate their pace to meet rising demands, navigating the intricate dance of decision-making and coordination that requires significant time and effort.
To help accomplish these goals, this conference will bring together esteemed consultation professionals from across the region at Canadian Institute’s 8th Annual Conference on Atlantic Indigenous Consultation and Engagement in Halifax, October 8-9, 2024. Join us to explore critical lessons learned and collaboratively develop innovative strategies to advance Indigenous consultation in Atlantic Canada.
