Panel Roundtables

The Panel led one national and eight regional roundtable discussions across the country. Roundtable discussions were by invitation and were limited to 20-25 participants. Participants included people living in urban and rural First Nation communities, First Nation youth (e.g. senior high school students), parents, elders, school counsellors, and representatives from provincial governments and the private sector.
