How the private sector and government can support a brighter economic future for Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Indigenous peoples in Canada have been disadvantaged economically by colonial systemic barriers for years. But steps toward economic reconciliation have begun. In 2022, a partnership between Enbridge and twenty-three First Nations and Métis communities offered Indigenous communities a stake in a pipeline deal and financial stability. Similarly, the Indigenous ownership of the Trans Mountain pipeline shows that it can potentially contribute to investment and reinvestment within the communities most affected by the project.
How can corporations develop partnerships that respect Indigenous peoples and provide them with economic sovereignty? Enbridge presents The Walrus Talks Economic Reconciliation examines what working toward economic reconciliation with Indigenous peoples might look like. The Talk will feature speakers representing a range of perspectives, from banking and finance, economic studies, to First Nations governance, policy, and energy.
Join us and discover the ways corporate partnerships can build a more equitable financial future for First Nations peoples in Canada.
