This March, NUICC will be hosting the National Hybrid Gathering of Urban Indigenous Coalitions from coast to coast to coast. The 30 urban Indigenous coalitions have been invited to participate in the first National Gathering since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the 3-day event NUICC will host Urban Indigenous Knowledge Mobilisation Hub sessions, dedicated to sharing knowledge on about key topics important to urban Indigenous organisations.

We will feature workshops on how urban coalitions share their experiences, build research, and how we can evaluate Canada’s approaches to our urban communities and coalitions’ movement. Delegates will also share knowledge through panels, discussions and workshops on urban Indigenous governance, UNDRIP implementation, and challenging Canada’s distinctions-based framework which harms our urban communities.

We invite coalitions to join as we come together to advance our strategic planning and shape our draft terms of reference as we build a strong NUICC with a good foundation.
