Consultation and engagement in Canada are changing. https://bit.ly/3NH7sBy

New federal legislation, shifting regulatory guidance, and active court challenges are raising important questions for First Nations about how consultation will be conducted—and whose voices shape decisions going forward.

This February in Edmonton, Indigenous leaders, government officials, and industry partners will gather at CI’s Western Indigenous Consultation & Engagement Conference to discuss:

• Impacts of Bill C-5 and the Major Projects Office
• Court decisions shaping consultation rights
• First Nation–led assessment guidelines
• Best practices for Indigenous partnerships and engagement

Co-chaired by Lori Cyprien (Dene Lands & Resource Management) and Melody Lapine (The Firelight Group), the conference centres Indigenous perspectives and practical pathways forward.
