Building Canada’s Digital Workforce

"DIGITAL's support has enabled a wider reach for Sky Keepers and spurred conversations for future partnerships in B.C. and across Canada. With their support, the Construction Foundation and its partners have been able to offer this timely training in several First Nations communities across B.C., and allowed for important conversations at the Two Eyed Seeing Network table to better understand and support opportunities for Indigenous people to participate in drone-related careers."

“Coastal First Nations hold the keys to transforming B.C.͛s future. As communities along the central, north coast and Haida Gwaii get connected through high-speed internet and gain access to today’s global digital economy, there is a wealth of cultural wisdom, prosperity and world-renowned stewardship leadership to be shared. As we build B.C.’s coastal economy while protecting our environment for future generations, the CFNC Network project will bridge the digital divide in our remote communities by supporting long-term careers and opportunities in technology to create Indigenous-driven connectivity services and innovative solutions."”
