Aboriginal Leadership at The Banff Centre

Banff Symposium 2012

Wise Practices in Indigenous Community Development

September 13 – 16, 2012
The Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta, Canada

Join Us as We Share Stories of Success

Much of what is known about Aboriginal communities today comes from media reports that overlook the many stories of success and prosperity that have yet to be told. Rather than portrayals that depict struggle, we must begin to relay stories of Aboriginal communities that have been able to rise above challenges to develop successful and sustainable enterprises.

Join us at the Wise Practices in Indigenous Community Development Symposium as we highlight four accounts of Aboriginal community development, where we learn from community members who engage their people and who share in the pride that comes from successful endeavours. Hosted by Aboriginal Leadership and Management at The Banff Centre, the two-day symposium will bring together Indigenous community leaders to share and learn from stories of success from Alberta, throughout Canada, and beyond.

Sponsored in part by the Rural Alberta Development Fund, the symposium will include keynote speakers, panel presentations, and special events that will look at the Wise Practices of a variety of Indigenous communities, and explore how such knowledge can be used by Indigenous leaders to develop their own communities. You will have the opportunity to hear from guest speakers from across Canada, Australia, and the United States. The sharing of this knowledge will become a resource for other Indigenous communities to access and create their own success stories.

Please join us and participate in an innovative movement in the development of Indigenous communities on a global scale. The next success story could be yours.
