Teck Resources to share insight on Indigenous relations during panel sessions at Forward Summit

Print 🖨

Forward Summit, the gathering of Indigenous and industry leaders dedicated to economic reconciliation, has just announced that Teck Resources will present at the inaugural event in February 2019.

Teck Resources, Canada’s largest diversified resources company, will be at the table to participate in various discussions related to their Frontier Project which is currently being reviewed by a joint federal-provincial review panel.

Over the last several years devoted to their Frontier Project, Teck has blazed a trail of partnerships and agreements with the Indigenous communities that neighbour the proposed mining area in Northern Alberta. The result is a shift leading to more open communication and acceptance between industry and Indigenous nations on industry led projects, as well as socio-economic, ecological, workforce and major financial implications.

The participation of Teck Resources at Forward Summit includes a dedicated panel session and roundtables highlighting their innovative approaches to economics, partnerships and environmental sustainability. Teck’s conversations include both industry and Indigenous perspectives on how and why this unique and collaborative approach to large-scale projects has seen early success.

Delegates at Forward Summit will attend “Building Sustainable Relationships – The Frontier Project” panel session on day two of the three-day Summit with the opportunity to participate in the Q&A that follows.

Register now to hear from Teck Resources and other thought-leaders on economic and workforce opportunities with Indigenous communities at Forward Summit.

Limited sponsorship opportunities remain at Forward Summit. For more information on how to get involved in three days of panels, workshops, networking and on the exhibition floor, click here.
