Indigenous engagement is an imperative priority for most organizations. However, Indigenous engagement in the assessment process can seem complex if you do not have an established relationship with the community where you are conducting the assessment or do not possess advanced knowledge about the region or territory.

This workshop will equip attendees with actionable strategies on how to best partner with Indigenous communities during the entire assessment process. The workshop facilitators will share how to create meaningful engagement and long-term partnerships that advance economic reconciliation.

In this interactive workshop, topics of discussion will include:

• Building meaningful and long-term partnerships from project approval to completion
• Sharing best practices for successful projects
• Strategies and definitions for incorporating a holistic approach in environmental assessments
• Creating practical solutions for Indigenous peoples, industry proponents, regulators, and government partners
• Incorporating local Indigenous knowledge in the assessment process
