Discover the Indigenous Economic Progress Report Webinar Series
Moving from Scarcity to Abundance
Join us for an insightful webinar series inspired by the National Indigenous Economic Development Board’s 2024 Indigenous Economic Progress Report (IEPR), co-hosted by Mary Beth Doucette, Purdy Crawford Chair in Aboriginal Business Studies at Cape Breton University and Dr. Deborah Saucier of Vancouver Island University.
This webinar series brings together data, expert analysis, and diverse perspectives to foster meaningful dialogue on the opportunities, challenges, and systemic changes needed to advance Indigenous economic development in Canada.
The IEPR provides a data-driven assessment of the economic wellbeing of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, serving as a critical tool for policymakers, businesses, and community leaders committed to fostering economic reconciliation. It evaluates key indicators such as employment, income, education, and business growth while highlighting systemic barriers and innovative solutions.

- In-Depth Report Analysis: Gain a clear understanding of the IEPR's findings and what they mean for Indigenous communities and Canada as a whole.
- Expert Perspectives: Hear from industry leaders, academics, Indigenous entrepreneurs, and community advocates as they share insights and actionable strategies for driving positive change.
- Interactive Discussion: Engage with speakers and participants during a live Q&A session designed to deepen the conversation on economic reconciliation.
