Indigenous partnerships in mining and municipal government

Through facilitated discussion and audience Q&A, this session will address the importance of authentic reconciliation and the development of partnerships between municipalities, Indigenous communities, and leaders in the mining industry. Over the course of the hour, speakers will highlight key learnings and examples of collaboration with Indigenous communities, from the start of exploration to reclamation. They will explore the challenges faced by each party, the benefits of these partnerships, and how these alliances can propel the industry forward. Discussions will feature numerous partnerships developed in the greater Sudbury area between private mining companies and First Nations communities, supported and encouraged by the municipal government.
