Essential Tools and Best Practices for Ensuring Good Governance in First Nations and Metis Communities

Wednesday, June 16 to Thursday, June 17, 2010

Fort Garry Hotel, Winnpeg, Manitoba, Canada

Do You Have the Tools You Need To Develop Good Governance Practices and Policies?

Recent decisions in Canadian courts are having a serious impact on Aboriginal membership, elections and property rights. Now more than ever, Aboriginal leaders need to ensure they are up-to-date on how to create the best governance systems. Without good governance, Aboriginal leadership and institutions may be at risk of incurring costly litigation, losing funding or wasting precious resources.

Attend The Canadian Institute’s innovative and timely conference on “Strengthening Aboriginal Governance” to gain the practical tools and strategies you need to:

DEVELOP and implement membership and election codes
USE good governance to further economic development and to build sustainable communities
DISCOVER how self-government is working in practice: Pitfalls to avoid
CREATE effective land governance policies
AVOID loss of funding and lawsuits for improper governance

Make the most of your conference experience by attending our interactive post-conference workshop on “The Essentials of Good Governance: Creating Efficient Band Administration Laws, By-laws and Policies”.

We look forward to seeing you in June!
