Economic Reconciliation for Sustainable Development

We invite you to join the Anishinabek Nation Economic Development Team at our second annual Economic Development Opportunities Forum.

In the spirit of collaboration over competition, we will showcase our initiatives and those of our member First Nations, provide actionable insights and calls to action, and highlight policies and funding opportunities from Ontario and Canada. Come connect with Economic Development Officers (EDOs), First Nation economic leaders and subject matter experts to exchange ideas and experiences, foster networking, and learn from each other’s journeys. Dive into discussions about the future of economic reconciliation and the pathways that lie ahead!

This forum is welcome to everyone: Indigenous and non-Indigenous; Anishinabek Nation Communities and other First Nations; Business Owners; Procurement Organizations; Funders & more.

Keeping Culture in Growth & Trade

Anishinabek Nation Economic Development is proud to center our cultural traditions, even in the midst of a bustling tradeshow! We are honoured to welcome Mishomis Leroy Dolson to open us up each day in a good way, and the Casino Rama conference space is smudge friendly.

The Youth Carried Drum, Oshki Gnebik Mnising “Young Snake Island” will be joining Mishomis to keep our feet grounded to the heartbeat as we form new friendships and showcase our successful growth.

We want to be aware that while we are pleased to be supporting a community owned and operated venture here at Casino Rama, there are members of our communities who may have their own struggles with alcohol or gambling. Please visit www.anishinabek.ca for more details of our Health Secretariat Support Programs that provide resources for responsible gambling, addiction, and other wellness resources.
