 Key outcomes for the participants include:

• obtaining information on the status of Impact Benefit Agreements between First Nations, companies, and government across the province;
• examining the strategies and foundations of Impact Benefit Agreements;
• reviewing the contents of typical agreements and how to make them work for the community;
