First Nations Police Governance Roundtable July 2026

Description

FIRST NATIONS GOVERNANCE ROUNDTABLE

Listening. Learning. Building Together.

A collaborative forum for First Nations police governance leaders, members and administrators across Ontario.

Every conversation matters.

Police Governance Ontario recognizes that the strongest governance resources are built with First Nations communities—not for them.

The First Nations Governance Roundtable was created as a place to listen, learn and build relationships while strengthening police governance together.

This is a space to:

• Share governance experiences

• Discuss emerging opportunities and challenges

• Learn from one another

• Build connections across First Nations police governance bodies

• Help shape future PGO resources, learning opportunities and advocacy

Every conversation helps inform the future governance supports developed by Police Governance Ontario.

Who Should Attend?

This Roundtable is open to all First Nations police governance bodies in Ontario, regardless of governance model.

Whether your community:

• Governs under the Community Safety and Policing Act

• Oversees a self-administered First Nation police service

• Is developing or strengthening its governance practices

• Is exploring future governance opportunities

You are welcome.
