FNMPC UPCOMING EVENTS

The First Nation’s Major Project Coalition is pleased to announce our 7th Annual Conference

“Our Collective Advantage: Indigenous Consent”

Companies – and countries – that honour and incorporate Indigenous consent across their supply chains hold a collective advantage over those who do not. Canada and the United States have the resources, clean energy and society to attract the capital, production and innovation that the world needs to build a sound economic and environmental future.

Join us April 22-23, 2024, in Toronto, Canada where we will show you how this collective advantage is being achieved, and where the potential is.

PAST EVENTS

Navigating First Nations Opportunities within BC’s Call for Power

On Wednesday, September 13th, the First Nations Major Projects Coalition will convene experts in clean energy generation projects to understand BC’s Call for Power as it relates to First Nations in BC. This online panel will examine the significance of the Call for Power, potential opportunities, and challenges for First Nations. As the province takes decisive steps towards a cleaner economy, it is imperative that First Nations are equipped with the knowledge and tools to leverage this opportunity for economic growth, centering the benefits with First Nations.

Join us as we explore the avenues for Indigenous ownership and equity in BC’s upcoming Call for Power – and what interested First Nations can do to prepare to take advantage of it.

Addressing the Global Energy Crisis From An Indigenous Lens

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15th – 9AM pst – 10AM pst

As part of the global strategy to balance climate and energy objectives to meet global demand, development of many different types of energy sources is required, including Hydrogen, SMRs and traditional energy sources. This presents unique opportunities and challenges for Indigenous nations, industry, and investors. Across North America, proper implementation of Indigenous values and respect for Indigenous rights and interests must form the basis for which we drive investment opportunities, energy access to global nations, and a path towards a more sustainable and equitable energy future.
