This two-day event will be held in Vancouver on March 23-24, 2023, and will bring together representatives from First Nation Development Corporations in BC and some leading experts in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agenda for the event is built around four key pillars: foundational learning, strategic growth, business insights, and opportunities for investment. Through a series of keynote speeches, case studies, and interactive sessions, participants will have the opportunity to learn from industry experts, share wise practices, and network with other First Nation Development Corporations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our objective is to support the growth and development of BC First Nations owned Development Corporations, in a practical learning environment focused on shared learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are excited to confirm that we have a representative from Premium Brands, one of Canada&#8217;s leading food production and distribution companies, to speak at the upcoming workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This part of the agenda will be a discussion focussed on successful business acquisition practices, highlighting the recent $1 Billion acquisition (in late 2020) of Clearwater Seafoods, which involved a Coalition of Mi&#8217;kmaq First Nations. This presentation will highlight the opportunities for partnership between First Nations and corporations in the food production and distribution industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Clearwater acquisition was a major milestone for Indigenous economic development in Canada, as it provided the Mi&#8217;kmaq Coalition with a 50% ownership stake in one of the largest seafood companies in North America. The partnership between the Mi&#8217;kmaq Coalition and Premium Brands was seen as a positive example of how corporations and Indigenous communities can work together to achieve shared goals and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The March 23-24<sup>th<\/sup> workshop will provide valuable insights and learnings for First Nation Development Corporations in BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are unable to attend, be sure to sign up for the FNBDA weekly newsletter and follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/first-nations-business-development-association\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn <\/a>to stay connected for future workshops and ongoing work in building a resource library and training for staff and directors with Development Corporations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to be building towards our first workshop in the FNBDA Building Capacity Series for First Nations Development Corporations.
