This pandemic has taught us that no order of govt can solve national challenges alone. FCM is laser focused on working in partnership to help build strong #CDNmuni + power Canada's recovery. This week's Board of Directors meeting has strengthened our resolve + dedication.

[Carole Saab 🇨🇦 @carolesaab]

Just so pleased the new phase of this incredible initiative in partnership w/ @CandoEDO is officially launched.

CEDI builds capacity to create sustainable partnerships + improve success of joint economic development planning and initiatives among First Nations + municipalities.

If you don’t know the CEDI partnership, you should. Indigenous + non-Indigenous organizations co-creating + delivering ec dev. 8 years, 46 communities (24 First Nations + 22 Munis) described by TRC Commissioner Chief Littlechild as reconcili-action. A model that should be scaled.
