Advancing Indigenous Economic Participation
While partnerships between private companies and Indigenous communities in infrastructure projects are not new, previous agreements often missed offering First Nation and Métis communities a full equity stake. Whether you've received offers involving pipelines or other infrastructure, negotiating the best deal while safeguarding your community’s rights and interests is essential.
Join us on April 18 for a virtual discussion featuring speakers from Sawridge First Nation, Heart Lake First Nation, Willow Lake Métis Nation and MNP, as they share their journey through these transactions and the impact it is having on their communities.
