Speaker Series on Indigenous Issues and Initiatives


Picture
From 2014 to 2021, Stratéjuste held a speaker series devoted to emerging policy issues affecting First Nation, Métis, Inuit, and urban Indigenous peoples.  Co-hosts of the series were Patterson Creek Consulting and Canada's Public Policy Forum. Most sessions took place at the Public Policy Forum offices at # 1400 - 130 Albert Street in Ottawa. 

​​Speakers came from a wide range of backgrounds and institutions, including Indigenous, academic, government and not-for-profit organizations.  Presentations were followed by Q & A sessions, which allowed for candid, in-depth discussion. 

The Public Policy Forum is now organizing a virtual series on similar topics.  For details, please contact Jonathan Perron-Clow at 
JPerron-Clow@ppforum.ca.
