Why get involved? – Grand cercle économique des Peuples autochtone et du Québec

WHY GET INVOLVED

BECOME AN ALLY

DO DIFFERENTLY, DO BETTER

Indigenous Peoples have long remained on the margins of economic and social development in Quebec, which has particularly prevented them from exercising their right to development in accordance with their own needs. The socioeconomic context in which Indigenous Peoples currently find themselves does not allow for eliminating the enormous gap that separates the living conditions of Indigenous Peoples from those of Quebecers.

All organizations and businesses of Quebec civil society share a responsibility in terms of improving the socioeconomic conditions of Indigenous Peoples. Indeed, it is the commitments of the business community and the municipal sector that, by bringing about concrete benefits for Indigenous Peoples, will make it possible to make this movement a historic step forward on the path to economic reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.

GETTING INVOLVED

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

Supporting the self-determination of Indigenous Peoples as well as their participation in the Quebec economy.

Becoming a partner in an influential process that is conducive to the economic growth of Indigenous Peoples.

Creating business alliances and partnerships that constitute a success factor for the future of relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

Taking an active part in raising the standard of living in Indigenous communities.

Allowing for the creation of beneficial social and economic spinoffs not only for Indigenous Peoples, but also for all of Quebec.

The Grand Economic Circle is a unique opportunity to forge strong ties between First Nations, business partners and the Quebec government. This is a concrete example of our commitment to relaunch the Quebec economy together and to bring about a profound change in our relations with Indigenous Peoples. It constitutes a social project to which we must all contribute.

WHO CAN MAKE A COMMITMENT?

Building Indigenous Prosperity Together

All businesses, organizations, and non-profit organizations can get involved in the movement, regardless of their size or area of activity.

The important thing is that the commitments are concrete and consistent with the vision of the future of the Indigenous Peoples and that they lead to positive spin-offs from which they can benefit.
