Join us from January 16 to 18 for an engaging conference experience that brings together leaders and experts to advance the mission of empowering the North. Hosted by Ollie Williams of Cabin Radio, this event is poised to foster collaboration, enhance educational opportunities, and streamline communication for a stronger, more resilient North.

Day 1: Tuesday, January 16, 2024
Kicking off with an opening by notable figures (to be confirmed), the first day includes in-depth Member Engagement Sessions focusing on risk and asset management, disaster recovery, and enhancing local government relations. Roxane Poulin leads a Resiliency Training, followed by Maureen Van Overliw's session on Communications Awareness, ending the day with a clear roadmap for tomorrow's sessions.

Day 2: Wednesday, January 17, 2024
The second day is structured to provide a perfect blend of professional development and partnership exploration. Starting with Dr. Lisa Belanger's insights on work-life balance, the agenda includes a legal angle from Lawson Lundell and a primer on human rights by the NWT Human Rights Commission. The Partner Showcase features key organizations, ranging from tourism and recreation to mental health and community government, culminating in an Awards Banquet to celebrate excellence.

Day 3: Thursday, January 18, 2024
The final day offers strategic updates from the MACA and insights into access to information and privacy protection, followed by discussions on evolving human resources strategies with Dr. Suzanne Theissen and concluding with media strategies by conference MC Ollie Williams. The event wraps with final remarks from the LGANT President.

Be part of a pivotal platform that aims to strengthen the very fabric of governance, community, and innovation in the North. We look forward to your participation in a forward-looking dialogue that promises to empower and inspire.
