Canada’s major projects are increasingly shaped—and often slowed—by regulatory complexity. In today’s environment, project leaders must navigate permitting pathways with clarity, speed, and national alignment. A critical part of that landscape is the central role of Indigenous groups as governments, rights holders, and project partners.
Meaningful Indigenous engagement, pathways to consent, and opportunities for equity participation are now fundamental to advancing major projects. Comprehensive Indigenous consultation and engagement plans are not only regulatory expectations but also key drivers of certainty, credibility, and shared benefit. When done well, early and deep collaboration can accelerate permitting decisions; when neglected, it can contribute to delays.
Join us for Build Canada Webinar #3: Regulatory approvals, strategy and success, where senior infrastructure, Indigenous engagement and regulatory specialists will break down the practical actions organizations can take to accelerate approvals, reduce risk, and improve project outcomes by aligning regulatory strategies with Indigenous partnership approaches.
This panel discussion will explore:
- Three essential actions to accelerate permitting decisions and advance complex projects
- How national alignment, Indigenous consent pathways, and disciplined regulatory strategy strengthen credibility with regulators, rights holders and communities
- Real-world examples of how project teams have streamlined approvals on multi-billion-dollar projects
- Practical case examples across different types of major projects, highlighting how co-development and Indigenous-led assessment approaches influence timelines and outcomes, and the importance of socio-economic effects mitigations.
Join the conversation to gain practical insight into what it takes to move major projects forward with greater certainty and momentum—and to help shape Canada’s next generation of major projects in an era where Indigenous participation is both a regulatory necessity and an opportunity for shared prosperity.
