SUMMARY:Bridging the Digital Gap in Indigenous Businesses and Communities
DESCRIPTION:Learn from cross-sector experts to understand how Indigenous communities have found innovative ways to bridge the gap in digital access.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThe ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the ongoing issue of digital technology inaccessibility on remote and reserve lands. With the pandemic lock downs occurring around the world\, there is a growing awareness of the inequity marginalized groups experience through their inability to access the technology that helps keep us all safe and connected. The Indigenous communities that exist in rural or remote locations are particularity impacted by this inequity\, and with a second wave on our doorsteps\, the need for uninterrupted access to; education\, tele-health\, banking\, COVID patient tracking\, civic engagement\, and business services is becoming increasingly imperative. \nHistorically marginalized\, rural\, and low-income communities report among the highest disconnected demographics\, and although Canada has one of the highest standards of living in the world\, our Indigenous communities are a glaring caveat. Without the ability to do business\, work\, or attend class\, these already vulnerable communities further widen achievement gaps\, cripple local economies\, and contribute to community brain drain. \nIndigenous start-ups\, established businesses\, schools\, and students\, are all experiencing how a lack of access to digital services and connectivity can impact their livelihoods and their futures. Despite these obstacles\, there are many examples of how Indigenous communities and corporations have come together to create opportunities in broadband deployment\, through investment in infrastructure and public-private partnerships. CCAB and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will bring together experts in the field to understand how Indigenous communities have found innovative ways to bridge the gap in digital access\, and how corporations are supporting their efforts.

We work to eradicate institutional biases and develop accountable programs that support Black\, Indigenous and People of Colour. This program developed out of a new AGYU initiative that is focused on supporting artists who are active in the fight for social justice and the struggles for Black and Indigenous liberation. As community leaders\, in recognition of their ongoing contributions to the field of art and activism\, the AGYU invited Amoya Reé\, Keosha Love and Jayda Marley to envision a Community Resource Program in support of Black and Indigenous artists. As an art institution AGYU is committed to leveraging our resources to enhance and amplify the voices of artists whose practices are dedicated to advancing the fight against systemic white supremacy. And we want to offer our support to Black and Indigenous artists in a manner that is determined by leading members of our community. \nThe Art Gallery of York University (AGYU) is a public\, university-affiliated\, non-profit contemporary art gallery supported by York University\, the Canada Council for the Arts\, the Province of Ontario through the Ontario Arts Council\, the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council\, and by its membership. \nIn recognition of our place on the traditional territory of numerous Indigenous Nations\, the Art Gallery of York University thanks the Wendat\, Haudenosaunee\, and Anishinaabek who have and continue to care for this land. This land is the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Covenant and Wampum between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy\, the Three Fires Confederacy (the Ojibwe\, Odawa\, and Potawatomi)\, and other allied nations in an agreement to share land and its resources. \nAGYU promotes 2SLGBTQIAP+ positive spaces & experiences and works towards being barrier free.
