At the core of FNMPC’s organization and annual conference lies the diverse Indigenous culture and values of our members and communities. We encourage delegates to immerse and experience the featured local Indigenous culture integrated into the conference program and throughout the event spaces, including:

OCA Conference Logo

This year’s conference logo was designed by the talented Storm Angeconeb, an Indigenous artist from Treaty Three Territory (Lac Seul First Nation), born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her design symbolizes how our Indigenous roots run deep to our ancestors as we are growing in our communities.

Cultural Performances

Red Sky Performance, a leading company of contemporary Indigenous performance will be performing throughout the conference run time and is an act not to be missed. You can catch Red Sky Performances at the Opening and Closing Receptions and the lunch sessions on Day 1 and Day 2 of the conference.
