The Osgoode Certificate in Consultation (and Beyond) with Indigenous Peoples
2026-03-25 - 2026-05-20 | Ontario
It’s HERE: The essential knowledge and guidance for anyone working in the consultation arena.
As First Nation, Indigenous and Canadian governments, communities and private industries navigate old and new challenges in consultation, it has never been more critical to have a deep understanding of how to engage thoughtfully and effectively with these complex issues.
Building upon Osgoode’s very successful Certificate in Fundamentals of Indigenous Peoples and Canadian Law, this interactive program is a deep dive into the legal and practical framework for consultation and accommodation with Indigenous peoples. A truly outstanding faculty of experts from across Canada – sharing insights and experiences from Indigenous, government and industry perspectives – will provide the foundational knowledge and practical strategies which will enhance your and your community or organization’s approach to consultation and ability to forge critical relationships.
This training was designed for both legal and non-legal professionals who want to advance their understanding of the history, the legal framework, and evolving trends and best practices in this complex area.
This program will build on the foundational learning of the Osgoode Certificate in Fundamentals in Indigenous Peoples and Canadian Law. Although not a formal pre-requisite for registration, completion of this certificate or significant previous training and/or work experience in this area is strongly recommended.
Space will be limited, so register early!
