Reclaiming Our Future Annual Conference
An opportunity to connect with Indigenous talent
Did you know that an optimized Indigenous workforce would add almost $27 billion to Canada’s GDP, according to the National Aboriginal Economic Development Board?
The Indigenous population in Canada is younger, on average, and growing faster than the nonIndigenous population, so boosting their participation in the labour market could boost Canada’s productivity and economy, too
In short, Indigenous peoples are economic powerhouses. How can employers and hiring managers tap into this growing talent pool?
First step: Show your interest by meeting people from the Indigenous community, hearing their stories and learning more about their history. Register for Day 2 (September 27, General Admission Day) of Reclaiming Our Future, a two-day, annual conference organized by Norway House Cree Nation featuring:
An opening keynote from Carol Anne Hilton, renowned Hesquiaht author of Indigenomics: Taking a Seat at the Economic Table and founder and CEO of The Indigenomics Institute
Welcoming remarks from Ian Bushie, Manitoba’s Minister for Municipal and Northern Relations and Minister of Indigenous Economic Development
A prize ceremony for the talented, young winners of the Wolves Den Business Pitch Competition. Workshops, networking opportunities and more.
