Indigenous economic participation in major infrastructure projects across Canada not only helps get projects built, but also advances reconciliation. ​

Earlier this year, 38 First Nations became minority owners in a major natural gas pipeline system in B.C.—the largest Indigenous equity partnership in Canadian history. This landmark transaction of $736 million was made possible by a $400-million loan guarantee from the Government of Canada through the Canada Development Investment Corporation. It marked the first time the federal government issued such a guarantee to support Indigenous equity participation in a major operating natural gas pipeline system. ​

Join Canadian Club Toronto on October 22 to hear directly from those who helped bring this complex agreement to life. The discussion will explore how a major Canadian energy company, 38 First Nations, and the Government of Canada came together to make it happen—and what lessons can guide future projects that advance Indigenous economic reconciliation and enable Indigenous Peoples to have a greater stake in Canada’s economic growth.
