RFNG Webinar Series 2021 (Part 3)

  • This event has passed.

IPAC is hosting a five-part webinar series scheduled over 2021 that will explore the underlying themes of the project and the work with First Nations communities that are on the path to exercising their inherent right to self-government. Upcoming scheduled dates and topics are:

  1. April 28:The five pillars of the Inherent Right to Self-Government
  2. June 23: The “ill-fitting boot” – the origin and content of the Indian Act
  3. September 22: It’s A “Full Box”. The Historical Struggle for Recognition of Aboriginal And Treaty Rights
  4. November 17: From theory to practice: Principles and Strategies for Implementing the Inherent Right to Self-government

This series will be of primary interest to First Nations leaders, administrators and citizens who want to learn about their inherent rights; how the Indian Act obstructs their ability to develop effective self-governance and take their rightful place as citizens within their own nations and within Canada; and the power that citizens have to transform the way their nation is governed.

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.
