SUMMARY:Leading the Digital Revolution: Female Indigenous Leaders and the Canadian North
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nNorthern and Indigenous communities have been seriously disadvantaged by being on the wrong side of the digital divide. While cities and prosperous rural areas benefit from inexpensive high-speed Internet services\, remote and northern settlements have suffered from being cut off from many of the benefits of the digital revolution. Major changes are coming. Tiffany Eckert-Maret\, chief operating officer of Da Daghay Development Corporation\, is one of the leaders of Sixty North Unity\, an Indigenous-owned company that has taken over Northwestel’s telecommunications operations in northern Canada. This unique initiative\, co-led by one of the North’s most effective female entrepreneurs\, has the potential to transform the roles of First Nations\, Inuit\, and Metis peoples in the emerging new economy in the North. This webinar explores the Sixty North Unity deal\, the barriers to further Indigenous engagement in the digital economy\, and the prominent roles that female Indigenous entrepreneurs play in this vital transition. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Wednesday\, October 30\, 2024\nTime: 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar. If you are unable to tune in live\, you can watch the recording at your convenience. \nPlease register for the event here. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers
