Workshop B — Enhancing Communities Through Meaningful Indigenous Engagement
Indigenous consultation and engagement are imperative priorities for most organizations. However, Indigenous engagement can seem complex if you do not have an established relationship with the community. This workshop will equip attendees with actionable strategies on how to best partner with Indigenous communities to form mutually beneficial relationships. Attendees will learn how to create meaningful engagement and long-term partnerships that advance economic reconciliation. Topics of discussion will include:
- Building meaningful and long-term partnerships from the initial consultation stage and beyond
- Sharing best practices for successful Indigenous-led projects
- Strategies for incorporating local Indigenous knowledge
- Creating practical solutions for Indigenous peoples, industry proponents, and government partners
- Including a legacy plan as critical component of a Request for Proposal (RFP)
