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.

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.
