In the words of Marion Buller an “absolute paradigm shift is required” to dismantle the systems of colonialism, racism and misogyny that perpetuate and normalize violence against First Nations, Inuit and Métis women, girls and two-spirit persons #MMIWG

Local communities need to be treated as legitimate, equal partners in #extractive development. It's about more than just #CSR. Read more: https://t.co/Q3ZTBctQv7 #NetPositive

Momentum around an #extractive project tends to build as a company’s work in an area continues, making it more difficult to give communities a chance to be involved in #decision-making. Read more: https://t.co/Q3ZTBctQv7 #NetPositive

What is the role of #mining companies in #reconciliation? Companies need to be asking communities what reconciliation means to them. Reflections from #CIM2018 and @lanaeagle2

[NetPositive @NetPositiveNR]

Last week we were presenting at #CIM2018 on how companies should be planning for #mineclosure with #communities. Planning for closure starts at the beginning - companies need to work with local communities to support their #vision for the future. @CIMorg

[NetPositive @NetPositiveNR]

To involve communities and build relationships, companies should ask "What can we make happen? How can we make this work?" Great simple questions from @lanaeagle2 #CIM2018 #Indigenous Day

[NetPositive @NetPositiveNR]

@NetPositiveNR is at #CIM2018 this week bringing our #collaborative approach and pushing the discussion on #social outcomes in #mining. Stay tuned for more updates! @CIMorg
