A message from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce:
Despite repeated requests of the federal government to be part of the reconciliation discussion, the business community has been by-and-large excluded. This unfortunate reality is why we seek to demonstrate to the federal government that businesses and Indigenous peoples are often way ahead of them in reconciliation.
On June 19, we sat down with business and Indigenous leaders in Thunder Bay to hear what they had to say regarding reconciliation, what it means to them, their communities and their businesses.

This is the second part in a three-part series, our final roundtable discussion was held in Fredericton and the report will be released in early September.
