From Consultation to Impact: Indigenous Leadership and Canada’s Major Projects
Wednesday, 11 March, 2026
As Canada implements the Building Canada Act, the landscape for nationally significant infrastructure and economic development is shifting. Increasingly, the pace, certainty, and long-term success of major projects are influenced by how Indigenous leadership is engaged from the outset. The Indigenous Advisory Council was established to bring First Nations, Métis, and Inuit perspectives into federal major project processes at an early stage, reflecting a broader shift in how partnership and economic participation are understood across the country. Join Canadian Club Toronto on March 11 for a timely discussion with senior Indigenous leaders who are members of the Indigenous Advisory Council. Speaking from their experience and leadership, they will offer perspectives on the evolving role of Indigenous engagement in major projects, what responsible development looks like in practice, and how governments, proponents, and investors can navigate this environment with greater clarity and respect. The conversation will be moderated by Katherine Koostachin, Vice President, Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, Sussex Strategy Group, with panelists: Kluane Adamek – Indigenous Advisory Council Member Vanessa Doig – Assistant Director of the President’s Department of Makivvik JP Gladu – Founder & Principal, Mokwateh Lorne Pelletier – Senior Economic Advisor, Manitoba Métis Federation
