Today, we reflect on the past, acknowledge the present, and commit to a future rooted in respect, learning, and reconciliation. Call to Action 92 asks for the recognition and respect of Indigenous rights, traditions, and culture in initiatives involving their land and resources. Indigenous communities have stewarded this land for countless generations. From understanding fire’s role in regenerating ecosystems to preserving biodiversity, Indigenous traditional knowledge is essential for effective and sustainable forest management and advancing the bioeconomy.🌿 Take time today to learn from Indigenous voices. Their voices are critical in shaping policies and practices that restore balance to the environment and heal the land. A meaningful step towards true reconciliation. 🧡 #NDTR #TruthAndReconciliation #CallToAction92 #HealingOurForests #For7Gen

We acknowledge the Indigenous peoples of Canada, including the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, who have inhabited these lands since time immemorial. We recognize the traditional territories and the enduring relationships Indigenous Nations have with their ancestral lands. We honour their histories, cultures, and contributions, and we commit to ongoing learning, respect, and reconciliation.

Big changes are happening in Canadian forests and the energy patch. The For7Gen Campaign is partnering with Indigenous youth to lead this change. Why For7Gen?  Our aim is to start conversations about the roles bioenergy and negative emission hydrogen can play in community resilience. Plus, we’re promoting new careers and business opportunities for Indigenous youth in the sector. How can you get involved? You can mentor, offer an internship, complete a survey and share your views. Learn more and follow our journey on our socials and website www.for7gen.ca For7Gen is an initiative led by iTOTEM Analytics in partnership with Indigenous Resource Network, Resource Works, and Hydrogen Naturally, and is partially funded by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). #For7Gen #Sustainability #FutureForestry #ClimateAction #CommunityEngagement #EnvironmentalInnovation
