Anishinabek Nation Economic Development Opportunities forum (ANEDO)

, kicked off at the grand Casino Rama resort, Orillia (located on the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg and Chippewas of Rama First Nation). The forum focuses on economic reconciliation for sustainable development and has members of over 39 First Nations based in Ontario who join the event. 

Our small team at OneFeather was happy to be there - and to sponsor the event was extra special! Amongst networking with other Indigenous exhibitors like retailer 

 and having important discussions about economic reconciliation pathways, we also got to experience laughs by some

Chad Solomon of Biskane and our OF's Lawrence Lewis ✌🏼

"OneFeather is proud to have been a sponsor and exhibitor with ANEDO. It was a great gathering of our First Nations communities, and listening to the keynote speakers including Indigenous leader John Beaucage was a real highlight."
