Brief Remarks

On May 29 and 30 in Ottawa, Canada 2020 hosted our annual Economic Reconciliation Summit: The Indigenous-led Economy. This gathering brought  together Indigenous leaders from across sectors and territories for a vital day of conversation and engagement to explore the balance between growth and sustainability, and ensure that reconciliation is at the heart of future prosperity for all.  In the next  of our series of highlight conversations from this gathering, Cassidy Caron (President of the Métis National Council) and Heidi Todacheene (Senior Advisor to the Secretary at the Office of the Secretary, US Department of the Interior) speak with Braeden Caley (President & CEO, Canada 2020) about relationship-building, co-development, investing in Indigenous communities, and comprehensive and thoughtful policy-making toward reconciliation. This conversation has been lightly edited for length and clarity ahead of publication.
