Tell us about an initiative, project or program and how it contributes towards improving lives in First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities and creating a positive change towards the Indigenous Economy. How does it helps to educate and build capacity for your leadership and/or governance? Is it a local, regional or national initiative and are you partnering with federal, provincial or municipal governments, corporate Canada, educational institutions, non-profits or other Indigenous organizations?
