"The Plenary provides a forum for members of the Aboriginal community, Federal representatives, Provincial representatives, members of the private sector and other JEDI partners to network and share information. It is also an opportunity to review and receive updates on other economic development initiatives that are occurring in the province."
"The JEDI Aboriginal Development Fund (JADF) is a tool that enables JEDI to promote economic development in the First Nation communities of New Brunswick. The JADF will provide funding to entrepreneurs/existing businesses and communities to support business and community economic development planning. Please note that this is a pilot project with limited funding, and applications will be assessed on a first come, first serve basis."
"JEDI achieves this goal by fostering unique partnerships. These efforts have resulted in one-of-a kind relationships with community Economic Development Officers (EDOs) in each First Nations community in New Brunswick as well as representatives of key organizations and businesses. JEDI seeks to bring people together to achieve tangible results. Some of the ways JEDI does this includes: The JEDI Plenary; Communications; Networking Opportunities; Facilitating Meetings Regarding Economic Development Opportunities".
"Honouring traditional ways, we strive for equal Aboriginal participation in the mainstream economy and the creation of a vibrant future of self-sufficiency and sustainability."
