Today, we come together to recognize and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across Canada. National Indigenous Peoples Day is a moment to reflect on the enduring strength, resilience, and wisdom of Indigenous communities. As we honour this day, it is crucial to acknowledge the importance of reconciliation and the collective efforts required to build a future rooted in respect, understanding, and collaboration. Reconciliation is not just a word; it is a commitment to meaningful action and lasting change. In my journey as a trusted business advisor and certified management consultant, I have had the privilege of working alongside Indigenous leaders, Indigenous-led businesses, Indigenous entrepreneurs, mentors, and elders across Canada. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the unique perspectives and knowledge Indigenous peoples contribute to our shared endeavours. Let us use this day to reaffirm our dedication to fostering partnerships that respect Indigenous rights, support community development, and promote sustainable practices. By embracing the spirit of reconciliation, we can create a more inclusive and equitable society for all. 🧡 Today, and every day, we honour and appreciate the invaluable contributions of Indigenous peoples. Together, we can walk the path of reconciliation and build a brighter future. #NIPD2024 #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay #Reconciliation #IndigenousRights #Community #Collaboration #Respect Image Source: https://lnkd.in/eN5d5uM

Brand forensics: putting your brand under the microscope to extract revenue generating insights, because there's no detail too small when it comes to your business.
Employee diversity continues to grow and that may mean rethinking your corporate giving strategy. Pay it forward. Whatever advantage or privilege you have can always be shared to lift others up at home, at work, and around the world. #corporategiving #DEI #leadership #nonprofit
Are you a Canadian corporate leader with a passion for seeing the next generation thrive? #Applynow to join World Vision Canada's Corporate Engagement Advisory Council (CEAC) and make a difference in the lives of children around the world. CEAC Chair, Tracy Chong, explains why she joined the Council: “My family comes from unfortunate circumstances in a third-world country. The stories of their hardship were ingrained in me from birth—something all immigrant kids can relate to. I was taught to finish my meal because there were "starving kids in Africa" and that I was lucky not to be "living back home." From the age of six, the only show I was allowed to stay up late for was Nightline with Ted Koppel. I learned about atrocities all over the world and was desperate to help. I imagined those families as my own if they hadn’t been able to leave. That naïve perspective hasn’t changed with age. When I agreed to chair World Vision’s CEAC, it was because I wanted to help a single organization that was benefiting the widest swath of people in countries with some of the greatest needs. Those same countries I learned about years ago are still facing many of the same issues, or situations have worsened. Regardless of anyone’s background, I believe it is our responsibility as tenants of the planet to think about everyone’s well-being. This means helping lift the most invisible, marginalized people out of the most inhumane survival conditions. World Vision is my pathway to achieving this.” Ready to join us on this inspiring journey?

The Pilbara Development Commission welcomes the Western Australian Government’s recently announced Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) Strategy. You can view the ACCO Strategy here: https://lnkd.in/gG6ezHW2 👉 This initiative provides government agencies with a clear direction for supporting Aboriginal-led solutions and services across all sectors, aligning closely with the Commission’s strategic commitment to increase Aboriginal empowerment and prosperity! 👉 The ACCO Strategy is a significant step towards empowering Aboriginal people by fostering leadership, supporting self-determined service delivery, and ensuring sustainability for ACCOs. ✨ By prioritising Aboriginal people's involvement in the planning, designing, and delivering of community services, the strategy leverages their rich cultural heritage and knowledge to create a more inclusive and responsive service environment. ✨ At the Commission, we are enthusiastic about the strategy’s focus on sustainability and capacity building. This approach will ensure that ACCOs can develop into strong, sustainable entities capable of long-term service delivery and community support. By working closely with Aboriginal leaders and communities, we aim to enhance well-being, drive meaningful change, and build a vibrant economic landscape where everyone thrives. While economic development remains important, the heart of the ACCO Strategy is about empowering Aboriginal people to deliver culturally secure and community-led services. This initiative reflects our shared goal of fostering an environment where Aboriginal communities can flourish and lead their own futures, ultimately benefiting the broader Pilbara community. The Commission looks forward to driving this transformative change to create lasting, positive impacts for Aboriginal people in the region. #PilbaraDevelopment #AboriginalEconomicParticipation #CommunityEmpowerment #InclusiveGrowth #WAInitiatives
