Description

In partnership with the City of Burnaby, we are proud to bring you this meaningful event - Building Indigenous Partnerships: An Inclusive Economic Future on Thursday, September 24, in advance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This event will feature a keynote presentation, a facilitated discussion, and networking component to foster listening, learning, and dialogue.

We invite you to join us and First Nations Financial Management Board CEO Scott Munro for a compelling keynote: Building Indigenous Partnerships: An Inclusive Economic Future.

Scott's speech will look beyond the current headlines to explore the broader context shaping First Nations–non-Indigenous relationships and will empower you to consider what your role can be in advancing meaningful reconciliation. Scott’s address will be grounded in both history and forward-looking insights, highlighting practical ways business and communities can work together to build stronger partnerships and a more inclusive economic future that benefits all British Columbians. 

We encourage you to wear an orange shirt. Check out this article featuring Orange Shirts by Indigenous Designers that you can purchase locally.

We respectfully acknowledge that the City of Burnaby is located on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Peoples. Each Nation has distinct histories and distinct traditional territories that fully or partially encompass the city. We encourage you to learn more about the Host Nations whose ancestors have occupied and used these lands, including parts of present-day Burnaby, for thousands of years.
