Webinar: Indigenous Rights and Private Conservation: Creating Pathways for Respect and Responsibility.

On December 14, 2021, the Conservation through Reconciliation Partnership, the Nature Conservancy of Canada and OKT Law co-hosted a dialogue to explore the legacy of private land conservation in Canada and how we can collectively create pathways to recognize and respect Indigenous laws, governance and self-determination.

This dialogue brought together Larry Innes (Olthuis Kleer Townshend LLP); Ian Attridge (Barrister and Solicitor; Associate, Trent University); John Borrows (Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Law, University of Victoria Law School); Patricia Saulis (Executive Director, Maliseet Nation Conservation Council); Kelsey Wierdsma (Consultation Manager, Wolastoqey Nation, New Brunswick); Megan Pagniello (Coordinator, Sespite’tmnej Kmitkinu Conservancy); Nathan Cardinal (Senior Advisor, Indigenous Relations, Nature Conservancy of Canada).
