Ontario First Nations Economic Developers Association

The Ontario First Nations Economic Developers Association (OFNEDA) was created in 2008 to help stimulate economic growth for Ontario’s First Nations. Our goal is to generate and support economic and business development activities in order to formulate policies and initiatives aimed at tackling the economic challenges facing our communities. OFNEDA’S members represent a group of professionals with a common goal of enabling and fostering economic development in First Nation communities.

Aboriginal economic development has finally hit centre stage and is now at the forefront of Aboriginal issues in Canada. We are building partnerships and growing our membership in order to continue showcasing the positive economic development success stories from across the country.

Our people need to be poised to manage change, and OFNEDA is excited to help First Nations and our economic development professionals lead the way in Ontario and across Canada.
