Event Synopsis:
Building on its 25-year experience studying public trust in institutions through the Trust Barometer global survey, Edelman Canada has developed a new study that focuses on trust among Indigenous communities across the country.
Guided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action 92 upon the corporate sector to, among other things, provide education on the history and realities of Indigenous peoples, Edelman has conducted a trust survey specifically with Indigenous respondents.
The event will kick off with a presentation of the study’s findings by Megan Spoore, National Lead of Corporate Affairs, and Sam Lessard, Vice President of Corporate Affairs, and will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Sara Wolfe, Co-founder of Equity Cubed and Executive-in-Residence at Rotman School of Management. Panelists will delve into the role of businesses in advancing reconciliation and explore the trust dynamics between Indigenous communities and corporate institutions.
Panelists Include:
Keith Henry, President and Chief Executive Officer, Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada
Angela Mark, Director, Research, Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business
Mélanie Valcin, President and CEO, United for Literacy/Littératie Ensemble
