WHY ATTEND
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.
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 on October 8 – 9, 2024. Join us to explore critical lessons learned and collaboratively develop innovative strategies to advance Indigenous consultation in Atlantic Canada.
