Event Summary

The National Indigenous Economic Strategy (NIES), unveiled June 2022, is a blueprint for inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in the Canadian economy. This is the first time that an Indigenous-led strategy has been built and affirmed by Indigenous leaders and organizations across Canada providing a roadmap for the economic aspects of reconciliation and a blueprint for Indigenous inclusion in the economy.  

This webinar will be led by two Indigenous leaders, Dawn Mahdabee-Leach, Chair of the National Indigenous Economic Development Board and General Manager of Wabuteck Business Development Corporation and Kelly Lendsay, President and CEO of Indigenous Works.  Both Ms Mahdabee-Leach and Mr Lendsay were members of the eight person core committee that developed the strategy over a sixteen month period 2021-2022. The Strategy was unveiled in June 2022 and in 2023-24 efforts are now underway to educate private, public and education organizations about the NIES.

Objectives:

1. Learn the four Strategic Pathways: People, Land, Infrastructure, and Finance that collectively work together to drive positive change, address long-standing inequities, and achieve inclusive growth for and with Indigenous communities. 
2. Understand the 107 Calls to Prosperity and the key elements in each of the four pillars.  
3. Begin to explore how you and your organization can align your efforts with the calls to prosperity.  Indigenous-led and driven, the NIES guides governments, industry and institutions in their reconciliation work and collaboration in rebuilding Indigenous economies.
4. Download a copy of the National Indigenous Economic Strategy (NIES) here: niestrategy.ca
