Reverse Town Hall – First Nations Youth: Bridging the gap between community and opportunity

  • This event has passed.

First Nations youth often have to leave their communities to access education and career opportunities. Hear from three BC first Nation youth – Karista Olson, Shoshoni Andrew, and Dylan Daniels – as they share their views on why First Nations youth leave their communities, why they do or do not choose to return, and what those choices mean for their connection to culture and community. Howard Grant, Councillor, Musqueam Indian Band, and Executive Director, First Nations Summit, will provide opening and closing comments, speaking to the impact youth leaving and returning can have on a First Nation and what the federal public service can do to better support First Nations youth, so they don’t have to make that choice or to get the best of both worlds when they do.

What is a ‘Reverse Townhall’?

The federal government hosts ‘Townhalls’ regularly, where government public servants share new program and funding information with First Nations. A ‘Reverse Townhall’ flips the event around, where First Nations share invaluable insights, context and stories with government public servants.

Who Should Attend?

Federal Government public servants.

This is a joint FNPSS – BCFC Secretariat event under the Strengthening Public Service Institutions Initiative

Foundations for Professional Communications, an offering from the First Nations Public Service Secretariat and the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, got off to a great start with our in-person week of learning in January. Pictured here is the incredible cohort of First Nations communicators, and our amazing instructor, Davis McKenzie of Toxw oxw (Becoming Clear) Communications.

The students were able to hone their skills in key areas of communications, and at the end of the week were joined by Howard Grant, Executive Director of the First Nations Summit, and Jehan Casey, Director of the First Nations Public Service Secretariat, who were in attendance as they presented their very own communications plans. All their hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm made this week a huge success, and we are so excited for them as they complete this course and continue their journeys in communications!

Foundations for Professional Communications is a fully accredited course, free of charge for First Nations communicators. If you would like to be added to the mailing list for the next offering, please email: ksposato@fnps.ca.
