Quebec in Bordeaux: The FNQLEDC Brings the Voice of First Nations to the GSEF 2025 – FNQLEDC
October 22, 2025
At the end of October, the FNQLEDC will fly to Bordeaux, Quebec City’s sister city, to take part in the Global Social and Solidarity Economy Forum (GSEF 2025). This international event brings together more than 4,000 participants from around the world, all driven by a shared ambition: to build inclusive and sustainable economies.
For our organization, this is a unique opportunity to make the voices of Quebec’s First Nations heard, share the strength of our initiatives, and, above all, discover new tools to better meet the needs of the communities.
A focus on food security
In 2025, we launched the First Nations and Inuit Food Network (FNIFN) website, in collaboration with the First Nations and Inuit Food Security Committee (FNIFSC). This first step toward advancing food security and food sovereignty in communities has prompted many reflections on how to provide learning opportunities, advance community projects, meet the needs of community members, and stimulate collective engagement.
