Don't miss the 8th annual First Nations Leading the Way Conference at the Hilton Toronto/Markham Suites & Conference Centre on October 7 – 9, 2025, in Markham, Ontario. This national gathering showcases First Nations at the forefront of expanding jurisdiction and highlights their success in improving their economies through greater fiscal independence, improved financial management, debenture financing, and sound land governance.

First Nations Leading the Way features insightful discussions and presentations by First Nations and Indigenous organizations about building better futures for our communities. It’s also an opportunity to learn more about the supports and services available to First Nations, Tribal Councils, and Indigenous Health Authorities under the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FMA) and enjoy cultural performances, a tradeshow, and opportunities for networking and collaboration. Our hosts, the FMA institutions (First Nations Finance Authority, First Nations Financial Management Board, First Nations Tax Commission, and the First Nations Infrastructure Institute) and the First Nations Lands Advisory Board invite two (2) representatives from each organization to attend the annual conference. Reimbursements For representatives from First Nations, Tribal Councils, and Indigenous Health Authorities, we offer travel and accommodation reimbursements to attend. Up to two individuals per organization can claim up to $1,500 each for their travel and accommodation expenses. This reimbursement is intended to assist with the costs associated with attending the event. Youth and Elder Participation We are excited to once again extend an invitation to 25 First Nations youth (ages 18-30) and 25 community-recognized Elders to join us at this year's event. This is a wonderful opportunity for the younger and older generations to come together, share knowledge, and engage in meaningful discussions. To ensure the most efficient and cost-effective travel arrangements, we will be covering the travel and accommodation expenses for selected individuals based on the most direct options available. If you are interested in attending as a youth or Elder, please register to be considered. Due to the limited spots available, priority will be given to those who apply early. We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples and is part of the Treaty 13 territory and the Williams Treaties territory.

Ne manquez pas le huitième congrès annuel Les Premières Nations ouvrent la voie qui se tiendra à l’hôtel Hilton Toronto/Markham Suites & Conference Centre du 7 au 9 octobre 2025 à Markham, en Ontario. Ce rassemblement national met en lumière les Premières Nations qui travaillent à accroître leurs pouvoirs et souligne les manières dont elles ont réussi à renforcer leurs économies grâce à une indépendance financière accrue, une gestion financière améliorée, du financement par obligations et une saine gouvernance des terres. Le congrès propose des discussions et des présentations éclairantes d’organisations autochtones et des Premières Nations sur les moyens d’améliorer l’avenir des communautés. Il s’agit aussi de l’occasion d’en apprendre davantage sur les mesures de soutien et les services offerts aux Premières Nations, aux conseils tribaux et aux autorités sanitaires autochtones en vertu de la Loi sur la gestion financière des premières nations (LGF), ainsi que de profiter de spectacles culturels, d’une exposition et d’occasions de réseautage et de collaboration. Les hôtes, soit les institutions de la LGF (l’Autorité financière des Premières Nations, le Conseil de gestion financière des Premières Nations, la Commission de la fiscalité des premières nations et l’Institut des infrastructures des Premières Nations) et le Conseil consultatif des terres, invitent deux (2) représentants de chaque organisation à participer au congrès. Remboursement Jusqu’à deux représentants de chaque Première Nation, conseil tribal et autorité sanitaire autochtone pourront bénéficier d’un remboursement des frais de transport et d’hébergement d’un montant maximal de 1500 $ chacun afin de faciliter la participation au congrès. Participation des jeunes et des Aînés Nous avons le plaisir d’inviter à nouveau 25 jeunes des Premières Nations (âgés de 18 à 30 ans) et 25 Aînés reconnus par la communauté à participer au congrès. Il s’agit d’une excellente occasion pour les jeunes et les Aînés de se rencontrer, de mettre en commun leurs connaissances et d’avoir des discussions fructueuses. Afin que le voyage se fasse de la manière la plus efficace et économique possible, les frais de transport et d’hébergement des personnes sélectionnées seront couverts selon les options les plus directes. Si vous souhaitez participer en tant que jeune ou Aîné, veuillez vous inscrire pour que votre candidature soit prise en compte. En raison du nombre de places limité, la priorité sera accordée selon l’ordre d’inscription. Nous reconnaissons que les terres sur lesquelles nous nous réunissons constituent le territoire traditionnel des Mississaugas de Credit, des Anichinabés, des Chippewas, des Haudenosaunee et des Wendats, et qu’elles font partie du territoire du Traité no 13 et du territoire des traités Williams.   For more information, visit: First Nations Leading the Way 8
