    Event Description:
    The Pictou County Chamber of Commerce, with the support of several community based organizations, will present a special celebration called “Business Unusual” on January 28 from the deCoste Performing Arts Centre in Pictou. Not much about 2020 was normal. We all felt the changes in our lives. The Pictou County Chamber of Commerce felt it as well. So we’ve decided this isn’t the year to do our regular Chamber Awards evening. This year, its about putting that aside, to shine a light on those who have made such a huge difference to our community and beyond. We all stepped forward, supported where we could – and these honourees are a group who we want to highlight, to show how we all continue to shine on, now more than ever.
    Location:
    deCoste Performing Arts Centre in Pictou.
    Date/Time Information:
    January 28th, beginning at 7pm.

    The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce is taking proactive steps to promote reconciliation and respect for Indigenous rights within the corporate sector. In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 92, the Chamber urges its members to embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a guiding framework. This entails a commitment to meaningful consultation, fostering respectful relationships, and obtaining the free, prior, and informed consent of Indigenous peoples before embarking on economic projects. Moreover, the Chamber advocates for equitable access to employment, training, and educational opportunities for Indigenous communities, ensuring they reap sustainable benefits from economic development initiatives.

     

    Recognizing the importance of education, the Chamber encourages businesses to provide comprehensive training for management and staff on the history of Indigenous peoples, including the legacy of residential schools, Indigenous rights, and Aboriginal-Crown relations. Emphasizing intercultural competency, conflict resolution, and anti-racism, these efforts aim to foster a more inclusive and harmonious corporate environment rooted in mutual understanding and respect.
