Engagement Pathway

FROM ENGAGEMENT TO ACTION

SNÉKWEM, OR "THE SUN" LANE BY ARTISTS LAUREN BREVNER AND JAMES HARRY. INSPIRED BY THE SQUAMISH STORY OF HOW THE SALMON CAME TO THE WATERS.

The FNHIC conducted nine public webinars. The first two were for information only. Each of the remaining seven webinars was followed by a series of regional Zoom feedback sessions hosted by the Regional Engagement Coordinators (REC’s). The notes from the Zoom sessions provide the content for this report.

The FNHIC held eight Zoom focus groups in a series called “Transformation within First Nations Communities.” People with experience in each topic area led the sessions while the RECs led small feedback groups. The notes from the focus groups also provide the content for this report.
