Across Canada, First Nation communities and municipalities are strengthening their regions by creating and maintaining partnerships and collaborating on land use planning and community economic development initiatives. Through this process, they are working to reconcile past differences and build powerful new relationships based on mutual respect, understanding and a common vision for their future.
In Cando and FCM’s experience, many First Nations and municipalities would like to collaborate but are not sure where to start. There are significant differences in the communities’ legal rights, jurisdictions, governance, resources, economic conditions, demographics, and cultures.
While collaboration requires an investment of time to build the relationship, it provides significant returns as communities gain access to a broader range of skills, ideas, funding, and assets. The greatest benefit is that First Nations and municipalities have the opportunity to create a new era of cooperation.
