The Ontario First Nation Economic Development Association (OFNEDA) is hosting their 11th Annual First Nations Economic Advancement Summit on August 15 - 18, 2022 in Orillia at Casino Rama.
After two years of virtual meetings OFNEDA is happy to announce The Summit is being planed as a face-to-face event providing delegates, exhibitors and sponsors an opportunity to connect in person. This year’s conference will incorporate an Exhibitors area, workshops, a one-on-one Meet & Greet with Government Procurement Officers, a tour of a local Indigenous business and a welcoming reception.
OFNEDA is designing the 2022 Summit to bring indigenous procurement opportunities and partnership to the Economic Development Officers (EDO’s) working in First Nations and indigenous businesses across Ontario and beyond.
This Summit is designed for anyone who wants to learn more about how to do business with the government of Canada and Ontario and large private corporations and partnership development within First Nation communities across Ontario and beyond.
The Indigenous Procurement Summit is open to all Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and organizations that want to learn about new economic development and procurement opportunities for First Nations and First Nation businesses across Ontario and beyond.
This is a great opportunity to meet First Nations decision makers, government officials, industry leaders and many other dignitaries who want to be involved with First Nations economic development and advancement.

Summits like this are overdue. I have seen too many procurement processes that talk about inclusion but never make it past the surface level. Bringing Indigenous businesses into the supply chain is not just about checking a box - it is about building real economic capacity in communities that have been excluded for generations. The face-to-face format matters because relationships are what drive procurement, not just forms and bids. The meet-and-greet with government officers is a smart move because navigating federal and provincial procurement can be confusing without direct access to the people who manage the process. I have been on both sides of the table, and the gap between policy and practice is wide. Events like this help close…
Thank you for highlighting such an important event and the opportunities it creates for Indigenous communities. The article communicates its purpose with clarity and respect. I recently noticed sports chiropractor toronto mentioned in a discussion about supporting healthier and stronger communities, which made this post even more meaningful. Wishing continued success to everyone involved.
Really enjoyed this post — the way you explained the importance of Indigenous procurement and economic development was both informative and inspiring. The details about collaboration and community impact were very helpful. I recently came across a similar discussion on https://the915lawyer.com/, and it offered an interesting perspective on supporting diverse business growth as well.
