Highlighted Project:
Consultations in Respect of Implementing the Indigenous Languages Act
Project Scope:
​
Naut'sa mawt Event Management was engaged by Canadian Heritage (PCH) to obtain meaningful Indigenous input for the implementation of Canada's Indigenous Languages Act that became law June 21, 2019. We provided facilitation, logistical, and operational support to ensure successful national consultations with respect to the implementation of the Indigenous Languages Act. Tasks, activities and deliverables included invitations and scheduling, facilitation, audio recordings, technical and logistical support, summary reports after each consultation session and a final report.
​
​
Project Outcomes:
27 virtual consultations took place. The project was a success. It provided ongoing input to the Federal Government throughout the process; allowed for meaningful, informed and well thought-out oral and written input by the Indigenous participants; and concluded with a professional and useful final report to assist in implementing the Indigenous Languages Act, which includes the establishment of an Indigenous Languages National Office. These consultation sessions helped the Minister of Canadian Heritage make recommendations to the Governor in Council for the appointment of a Commissioner and up to three Directors. Feedback from these sessions also informed the development of the Indigenous Languages Funding Model.

Highlighted Project:
Shared Territories and Overlaps Forum
Project Scope:
​
The Shared Territories/Overlap Forum provides for a solutions-oriented, strategic dialogue on shared territories and overlaps as mandated by resolutions passed by the Chiefs at each of the First Nations Summit, Union of BC Indian Chiefs, and BC Assembly of First Nations assemblies., Naut'sa mawt Event Management was engaged to manage logistics and operations of this event.
​
Project Outcomes:
This event was scheduled to occur from March 11 to 13, 2020. Leading up to the event, the Covid-19 situation was carefully monitored and discussed. As the event date neared and new information surfaced, last minute adjustments were required. Naut'sa mawt Event Management worked closely with the client to adapt to this unprecedented situation, from adjusting food and beverage service to reduce touch points to minimizing the financial impact of the pandemic on the budget. The day before the event began, a live feed was provided and all links and delegate materials were posted to the Naut'sa mawt Event Management Shared Territories webpage, enabling participants to attend virtually. The final day of the in-person event was canceled when Provincial restrictions were mandated.
