The Anishinabek Nation’s Lands and Resources Department will host its eighth annual Lands and Resources Forum in North Bay Feb. 13-15.

Under the theme ‘Kina-Gego-Naabadosin – Everything is Connected,’ the event will draw Anishinabek Nation leadership, First Nations and citizens, government officials, industry experts, and academic speakers to consult, share, and educate on topics relating to lands and resources.

During the forum, participants will address topics including the Great Lakes, agriculture and food security, critical minerals and mining, forestry, energy, invasive species, and their impact on First Nations across Ontario and Canada.

“While we maintain our roles as stewards, we must also continue to strive towards economic sustainability in all of our communities,” Grand Council Chief Reg Niganobe said in welcoming attendees to the forum.
