Huntsville, Ontario – Premier Doug Ford welcomed national Indigenous leaders and Canada’s premiers to Muskoka on Tuesday for a key meeting focused on economic development, reconciliation, and building prosperity for future generations.
Attendees included National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak (Assembly of First Nations), National Chief Brendan Moore (Congress of Aboriginal Peoples), President Victoria Pruden (Métis National Council), and President Josie Nepinak (Native Women’s Association of Canada), alongside Ontario Indigenous leadership.
Premier Ford called the gathering a “productive discussion” on advancing Indigenous-led economic opportunities, including equity partnerships in resource development, particularly in critical minerals.
“Strong partnerships with Indigenous communities are essential to building a more resilient and self-reliant economy,” said Ford. “When provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, and the federal government work together — Team Canada is unstoppable.”
