quotes2Couldn't think of a better way to spend a day. I appreciated the deep dive into the history and context as a baseline of today's realities. Too often we skate over the past and focus only on the future. Even though I work in Indigenous Relations every day, I found this exceptionally valuable as this is an area of practice that is continually evolving.

questionDid you know?

Early, effective, respectful, and consistent engagement with Indigenous communities is the foundation of a good engagement strategy and is time well spent. A relationship that is respectful of the interests, priorities and values of the Indigenous communities you wish to engage with is key to how your project will be viewed.
