Objective
In June 2023, Encore was proud to partner with Resource Works Society for the third IPSS event, or Indigenous Partnerships Success Showcase. The event hosted approximately 1000 government officials, Indigenous groups and businesses, and larger corporations to highlights Indigenous success stories and business partnerships through networking opportunities, education sessions, social activities and their trade show.
The 2023 IPSS also included a historic presentation: a business panel to discuss economic reconciliation, given in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Snichim (Squamish language), and the first time a presentation of this kind has been given by an elder in this language.
