Registration Now Open: First Nations Leading the Way 9

We are honoured to welcome you to the 9th Annual First Nations Leading the Way national meeting. This year, we gather in Vancouver, BC, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations from October 14–16, 2026.

Our theme—“Building for the Future: A Generation of Collaborative Growth”—celebrates the momentum First Nations are creating through innovation, partnership, and self determined governance.

This national gathering is a premier space for First Nations leadership, administrators, and economic development champions to connect, learn, and share stories of success. Together, we will explore how the First Nations Fiscal Management Act and the fiscal framework are empowering Nations to move beyond the Indian Act and advance their own visions for prosperity, jurisdiction, and community well being.

Les inscriptions sont ouvertes : Les Premières Nations ouvrent la voie

Nous sommes honorés de vous accueillir à la 9e réunion nationale annuelle de « First Nations Leading the Way » (Les Premières Nations ouvrent la voie). Cette année, nous nous réunissons à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, sur les territoires traditionnels, ancestraux et non cédés des nations xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) et səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), du 14 au 16 octobre 2026.

Notre thème« Bâtir l’avenir : une génération de croissance collaborative » célèbre la dynamique que les Premières Nations créent grâce à l’innovation, au partenariat et à une gouvernance autodéterminée.

Ce rassemblement national constitue un cadre privilégié permettant aux dirigeants, aux administrateurs et aux acteurs du développement économique des Premières Nations de se rencontrer, d’apprendre et de partager leurs réussites. Ensemble, nous examinerons comment la Loi sur la gestion financière des premières nations et le cadre financier donnent aux Nations les moyens de dépasser le cadre de la Loi sur les Indiens et de faire progresser leurs propres visions en matière de prospérité, de compétence et de mieux-être communautaire.
