This week I had an enlightening and fun conversation with Neil Fleming, the executive director of Making Treaty 7 here in Calgary! We chat about Making Treaty 7’s film “Istotsi, Land We Live On,” which will have screenings at this week's 2022 “IGNITE festival of emerging artists' ' which is in its 17th year and being presented by Sage Theatre. Neil tells us about “Istotsi” and the meaning behind the collage of small films and how it went from a stage show to a film at the height of covid lockdowns. We also chat about the importance of ‘Making Treaty 7’ as a cultural society, dedicated to Indigenous artistic expression, and how that is paired with the beauty and history of Indigenous culture and the reckoning of Canada’s dark past with Indigenous people. Happy Indigenous History Month and Happy Pride month!Instagram:@making_treaty_7@sage_theatreTwitter:@makingtreat7@sageYYCWebsite:www.makingtreat7.comwww.sagetheatre.comNeil’s Bio:Originally from Sault Ste.

“The Land We Live On,” with Neil Fleming

Neil Fleming shares his first-hand insight into what it’s like supporting small and medium sized businesses globally during the COVID-19 pandemic; highlighting the vital importance of SMEs in job creation now and in the future and the real risk of many businesses going under. Neil is Director at The Challenges Group, working across 66 countries, with five offices in sub-Saharan Africa.As an international NGO – Neil’s experience shows the need for deep understanding of the social and economic impacts of this pandemic alongside immediate crisis response action. For him this means listening hard to those on the ground, deeply understanding what is needed and how resources can be deployed to create real positive impact.Neil explains that: “Now there is an opportunity to re-evaluate how we do business. Look at our supplychains. The global community needs to take stock, the role of money, who has it and who doesn't. It’s time to rip up the rule book.”For more information on how business can help both NGOs and MSMEs during the COVID-19 crisis, do take a look at the Business Fights Poverty Response Center, where you will find Action Toolkits on these and other important topics: https://snipbfp.org/C19_ResponseCentre Links:Business Fights Poverty: https://businessfightspoverty.orgThe Challenges Group: https://thechallengesgroup.com
