Expanding the Circle: What Reconciliation and Inclusive Economic Growth Can Mean for the Métis Nation and Canada

Economic reconciliation is not only the fair and right thing to do, but there’s a strong business case for it as well. Canada’s economy would grow by $27.7 billion annually if barriers preventing Indigenous Canadians from participating in the Canadian economy were removed, according to a recent report by the National Aboriginal Economic Development Board.

This conference focuses on creating and increasing economic opportunities for the Métis Nation and igniting the next generation of Métis entrepreneurship. It features speakers Dr. Marie Délorme of The Imagination Group of Companies, Clément Chartier of the Métis National Council, Cassidy Caron of the Métis Nation of British Columbia and others.
