Pathways to Economic Reconciliation

Why It Matters

Economic reconciliation invites individuals and organizations to reflect on Canada's colonial legacy and take meaningful steps toward building more just, equitable relationships with Indigenous Peoples. This work goes beyond acknowledgment — it’s about reshaping how we collaborate, share value, and honour Indigenous rights and knowledge in economic life.

In this workshop, participants will explore the origins and principles of economic reconciliation, gain an understanding of their role as settlers or allies, and learn how to take action aligned with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action 92. Through real-world examples and Indigenous-led perspectives, we’ll begin to chart a path forward built on mutual respect, accountability, and long-term partnership.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is designed for individuals across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors who are committed to reconciliation and equity in their work. It’s especially valuable for those involved in Indigenous relations, procurement, sustainability, governance, or economic development — anyone looking to build rights-based relationships and take meaningful steps toward reconciliation. Whether you’re early in your learning or seeking to deepen your impact, this session offers a respectful starting point for transformative change.
