The Indigenous Economic Partnership Summit will bring together Treaty 6 Indigenous leaders and community members as well as Non-Indigenous Industry Leaders, with the objective of making connections & exploring opportunities towards the goal of developing business & industry partnerships. During the Summit we will learn about best practices, partnerships that have worked well, and those components needed to ensure that solid and mutually beneficial partnerships can be established and maintained.
Comments from this 2014 Summit:
“I would like to congratulate the iEconomic Partnership Summit host organizing committee, sponsors, the City of Lloydminster, and the business and Indigenous community for coming together in the spirit of friendship and peaceful coexistence. We know our ancestors had strong intentions to build a prosperous future together from the bounty of the resources that were included in the vast treaty number six territory. I encourage the entire community to follow-up on the leads and ideas that were generated at the I-Summit in Lloydminster so that we can see improved results of mutual benefit on a go forward basis. I look forward to meeting you all again with renewed energy and livelihood opportunities for more win-win outcomes”. – Honorable Bill McKnight, PC, Honorary Chairperson
