Indigenous Consultation is Experiencing a Shift in the Natural Resource Sector.

As many Indigenous communities remain vigilant about environmental sustainability there is an increased interest in attaining greater economic prosperity. Meanwhile industry leaders are rolling out reconciliation strategies to become better partners, even as the Canadian government continues to implement the United Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

How can your team learn from leaders in the sector to improve your organizations consultation strategies?

Join The Canadian Institute’s 14th Annual Eastern Indigenous Consultation & Engagement in Toronto, May 23 & 24, with postconference workshops on May 25, for an unparallel opportunity as expert speakers address the most crucial challenges affecting consultation in Ontario and across Canada.
