Fred Bergman

Atlantic Economic Council

The Atlantic Economic Council partnered with Kirkpatrick Parsons Consulting to determine what does Atlantic Indigenous Economic Reconciliation look like? This research project was done on behalf of the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs Secretariat. Kirkpatrick Parsons Consulting provided professional consulting services, including assistance with informative interviews and facilitation of a roundtable to gain key Indigenous perspectives. Fiona Kirkpatrick Parsons has in-depth knowledge of Indigenous Economic Reconciliation, is a skilled facilitator and is able to tease out critical insights from roundtable participants and interview respondents. We look forward to the opportunity to work with Kirkpatrick Parsons Consulting again, whether the project be related to Indigenous partnerships or incorporating Indigenous perspectives into strategic plans.
