Conversations about First Nations community engagement

In the Tuesday morning session on process and partnership in Aboriginal community development, a passsionate discussion took place. Session participants, Aboriginal and non-aboriginal, from across the province offered their experiences and posed their questions to three young men personally and professionally invested in Aboriginal social and economic development - or more accurately the health of the individual and the health of the community. Ranging from conversations on alternative energy projects in rural BC reserves to straightforward ideas on motivating and sustaining grass roots community development, the session was an exciting misture of first hand experience and examples and philosophical consideration of the future of economic development in Aboriginal communities - both urban and rural.
