Meanwhile\, Indigenous Canadians are asking for time and patience — commodities lacking amid today’s pressures and Canada’s history. Finding common ground is the only way forward\, both fundamentally and legally\, in the workplace and in business. \n  \nJoin us on this journey as we examine the past and how it has shaped the present. Hear from Indigenous movers and shakers as they share their personal and their nation’s stories. Produced by Muckpaloo Ipeelie\, this film lights the path to meaningful Indigenous partnerships — and the best way forward together\, through Indigenous voices. \n\nWhy This Film Was Created\nThe idea for Voices came from a conversation Inuk advocate Muckpaloo Ipeelie had with a business consultant. This consultant was helping companies apply for federal government contracts. Part of the process required an “Indigenous Participation Plan” — a section showing how Indigenous people or businesses would be included. \nUnfortunately\, many companies didn’t understand the requirement. Some pushed back\, some were frustrated\, and others saw it as just an inconvenience. \nAt the same time\, Muckpaloo herself was learning about this new policy. She joined seminars\, asked questions\, and eventually became eligible to offer her own services to the federal government. In these spaces\, she saw how much confusion there was\, and how\, in the outside world\, people understood so little about why Indigenous inclusion matters. \nThat experience sparked this film. Voices was created to explain the bigger picture — how Canada’s past shapes today’s policies\, and why including Indigenous people in business and government isn’t just a rule on paper. It’s a step toward fairness\, respect\, and reconciliation. \nThis documentary shares stories of Indigenous people who are leading\, creating\, and building every day. They don’t need permission to belong — they always have. \n  \nWho You’ll Hear From \nVoices features a diverse group of Indigenous changemakers whose lived experiences offer valuable insight into the intersections of business\, culture\, leadership\, and inclusion. \n\nElder James Carpenter – An Anishinaabe Elder and Traditional Healer with roots in Collingwood\, Ontario\nJennifer Wabegijig – An Anishinaabe entrepreneur from Manitoulin Island and owner of Wild and Glorious\nElder David Serkoak – A respected Inuk Elder who was forcibly relocated to the high Arctic as a child\, educator\, and cultural advocate from Ahiarmiut\, Nunavut\nMuckpaloo Ipeelie – Inuk filmmaker and founder of Urban Inuit Identity Project Inc. from Iqaluit\, Nunavut\n\nTheir voices ground the film in both local and national Indigenous realities — showing how Canada’s systems can be reshaped through respect\, truth\, and Indigenous-led solutions. \n \n \n \nEvent Schedule\n\n6:30 PM – Doors open\n7:00 PM – Film screening begins\n8:00 PM – Live Q&A with Muckpaloo Ipeelie and Jennifer Wabegijig\n\nAdmission: Free (registration required) \n \n Register\n \nPatron Parking\n \n \nParking at 65 Simcoe is reserved for building tenants.
