Connect with Indigenous communities, businesses and thought leaders working towards reconciliation
Organized by Connect Partnership Group (CPG), Forward Summit is an Indigenous led, multi-day conference, held twice each year, dedicated to advancing economic partnerships, discovering opportunities for change and supporting national relationships between Canada’s industry leaders and Indigenous communities.
Forward Magazine, published biannually in partnership with CPG, is the first magazine of its kind in Canada, focusing primarily on inspiring stories, resources, and business development projects pertaining to economic reconciliation for Indigenous peoples living in Canada.
Forward Magazine's mission is to explore and encourage meaningful conversations around Indigenous prosperity, wealth, and relationships. Now more than ever, getting involved in these conversations means taking productive steps to build an inclusive and strong Canadian economy and workforce. As such, advertising in Forward Magazine is an extraordinary opportunity for your organization to, in its own way, play a healing role and share knowledge with our dedicated audience that moves our country and industries forward.
