Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) partners with IISD

International sustainability study focuses on Winnipeg community

Winnipeg, MB – On Tuesday, October 23, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and the International Institute for Sustainable Development will announce their partnership on a sustainability indicator system for Winnipeg's urban First Nations community.

The groups will work with an advisory panel including Jim Carr, founding President and CEO of the Business Council of Winnipeg, and an IISD board member, and University of Manitoba President Dr. Emőke Szathmáry. The group has also invited the participation of Mayor Sam Katz, University of Winnipeg President Dr. Lloyd Axworthy, and United Way President Susan Lewis.

Sustainability indicator information systems are fast becoming an important means in North America for empowering communities through articulating quality of life aspirations, setting goals and navigating progress towards achieving those goals over time.
