The Assembly of First Nations of Quebec-Labrador (AFNQL) and the Government of Quebec are proud to present the Grand Economic Circle of Indigenous People and Quebec, an event that will take place on November 25 and 26, 2021, in person at the Centre Sheraton Montreal as well as online.

Organized by the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Economic Development Commission (FNQLEDC) and the Secrétariat aux affaires autochtones, the event will bring together the business communities and elected officials of the First Nations and Quebec. On the program are conferences, workshops and panel discussions focused on the main theme of the event, which is the inclusion of Indigenous people in Quebec’s economy, but also in the economic recovery. This theme will be addressed through sub-themes such as housing, entrepreneurship, employment, training and Indigenous tourism. Networking opportunities are also planned to allow participants to create linkages.

Part of the event’s programming will be unveiled in the coming days and the registration period will begin in the week of October 25, 2021. It is important to note that, due to the public health measures that must be applied and respected, the number of spots to attend the event in person is limited and will be allocated by invitation only. However, the event will be webcast and participants will have access to an exclusive conference and networking opportunities.
