First Nations Governance Roundtable October 2026

PGO’s First Nations Governance Roundtable provides a dedicated space for First Nations police governance representatives and partners to connect, share experiences and discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping police governance in their communities.

The Roundtable is designed around conversation and shared learning. Participants are encouraged to bring forward the issues they are navigating, exchange practical experiences and identify areas where stronger relationships, additional resources or greater clarity may support their governance work.

These conversations also provide an important opportunity for PGO to listen and learn. Rather than assuming that existing governance approaches or resources will meet the needs of First Nations Boards, the Roundtable helps identify where resources can be adapted, where different approaches may be required, and where tools and supports can be developed collaboratively.

Topics will evolve based on the priorities and experiences of participants, including governance roles and relationships, Board development, transitions and emerging governance issues.

The goal is to strengthen connections, learn from the knowledge and experience already present within First Nations police governance, and create opportunities to build practical supports together.
