TOOLS for SUCCESS

Using Data in Aboriginal Communities
March 5-6, 2007

As part of our ongoing commitment to building understanding of the importance of data for strategic planning and decision-making, Statistics Canada and BC Stats are pleased to offer Tools for Success: Using Data in Aboriginal Communities.

The goal of Tools for Success is to provide a venue for members of the Aboriginal community, local policy makers, decision-makers, and practitioners to share information on how they are using statistical data for Aboriginal community, social, and economic development. A main feature of this conference is participation of various Aboriginal organizations from across BC who will share their real-life experiences of best practices, challenges and success stories using data for strategic planning and decision-making.

Come join us in Victoria, BC for this unique learning and networking opportunity!

Conference Features:

• Pre-conference workshop "Statistics for Market Analysis"
• Keynote speaker: Chief Clarence Louie, Osoyoos Indian Band
• Plenary and breakout sessions on the themes of Aboriginal community, social, and economic development
