Strengthening Relationships with Indigenous Peoples Through the Consultation and Accommodation Process

Description

Reconciliation is an ongoing process, through which Indigenous peoples and the Government of Canada work cooperatively to foster healthy and sustainable Indigenous nations.

This event brings together spokespersons from Indigenous communities across the country to share their knowledge and insights on how the consultation and accommodation process is important for strengthening the relationships between the Government of Canada and Indigenous peoples. Panellists will discuss how fair and equitable consultation can lead to self-determination for Indigenous communities and help forge strong, lasting and mutually beneficial relationships.

This event is presented in partnership with the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada.
