Media Advisory - Conference Board of Canada's National Summit on Indigenous Youth and Natural Resource
CALGARY, Nov. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Relationships between industry, government and Indigenous peoples lie at the heart of Canada's natural resource sector. Indigenous youth now represent the fastest growing population segment in Canada and will soon be entering leadership positions with ever-increasing legal and political authority over the lands and resources within their traditional territories.
Effective engagement with Indigenous youth will help to ensure they receive meaningful outcomes from resource development alongside industry, and that their interests and concerns are genuinely addressed within Canada's 21st century resource economy. The Conference Board of Canada's Our Land, Our Future: National Summit on Indigenous Youth and Natural Resource Development will bring Indigenous youth together with industry, government and Indigenous leaders to explore how to build a stronger, more collaborative and equitable natural resources sector in Canada.
