There's a lot of First Nations who have the ability to participate in economic projects, but there's a lot that don't as well. So for the smaller First Nations, this is a huge opportunity. That’s Crystal Nicholas talking, president and interim general manager of Wskijinu'k Mtmo'taqnuow Agency (WMA). WMA is an economic limited partnership owned by 13 First Nations Mi’kmaw communities in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Canada Infrastructure Bank/ Banque de l'infrastructure du Canada has announced its first Indigenous Equity Initiative is an $18 million loan made to WMA. WMA will work in partnership with Nova Scotia Power in the construction and deployment of energy storage facilities in the communities of White Rock, Bridgewater and Waverley. Crystal says funding from CIB was crucial in allowing the Mi’kmaw Nations to participate in the project. Ehren Cory, CEO of the Canada Infrastructure Bank said infrastructure is but one element in the effort to help build a more equitable future with Indigenous partners and move closer to economic reconciliation. “The social licence to operate is really important. And it requires full and informed consent and engagement with communities, obviously. But I think, increasingly, it’s also going to potentially include having seats at the table.” Read more about this innovative financing deal in the comments. #firstnations #indigenous #aboriginal #torresstraitislander

The world is undergoing a challenging, and in some cases violent, economic, and geopolitical realignment on a historic scale. Competition for capital between countries is escalating rapidly. In this moment, Canada needs to step up its efforts to attract greater investment to power our economy into the future but instead, we are falling behind our global peers on the most meaningful economic indicators. Still, Canada has a natural advantage. Our oil and natural gas resources can put the country in an enviable and potentially globally influential position. Lisa Baiton, CAPP President & CEO will speak about what needs to happen for Canada to unleash its energy advantage and attract new investment into nation-building projects to build a more secure, lower emission and prosperous future for all Canadians. ------- Monday, April 29th, 2024 11:45 AM - 1:30 PM Delta Hotels by Marriott Ottawa City Centre Click the following link to register: https://lnkd.in/gzYS4iM4 #capp #energy #investment #decarbonization #economic #strength

🌟 A National Call to Action🌟 Great to see this groundbreaking initiative reach the Canadian public across multiple channels on the news today. Canada needs to invest $349.2 billion to Close the Infrastructure Gap for First Nations across the country. The latest estimate by the Assembly of First Nations with the support of Indigenous Services Canada | Services aux Autochtones Canada reveals a staggering deficit in #infrastructure, spanning utilities, housing, education, healthcare, water, and more. AFN engaged BTY and a team of industry leaders to develop a report capturing, for the first time in Canadian history, the investment required to close the on reserve infrastructure gap for more than 600 First Nations across the country. Decades of underfunding and outdated funding model have left First Nations without vital resources, hindering long-term growth and prosperity. BTY’s analysis details regional and asset-specific investment needs, providing AFN, ISC, the First Nations and Canada a roadmap to implement meaningful change.
