<h1>Purpose. Relationships. Vision.</h1>The IPSS 2023 banquet dinner will be hosted by Geena Jackson, the creator and Executive Producer of the reality television show The Bears&#x27; Lair. After a traditional welcome from Carla George (Squamish Nation), Regional Chief Terry Teegee (BC Assembly of First Nations) will deliver opening remarks.

Guests will enjoy the musical artistry of returning IPSS performer Joey Stylez, joined on-stage by Haida songstress Carsen Gray. An award-winning Indigenous hip hop artist, Stylez has been selected by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as one of the top 25 Canadian rappers of all time.

During the plated three-course dinner, attendees will enjoy a fireside chat on the HaiSea initiative, a partnership between the Haisla Nation and Seaspan that will provide marine services for LNG Canada, the country’s first large-scale export facility located in Kitimat, BC, on the ancestral territory of the Haisla First Nation. Participants of that conversation include Chief Councillor Crystal Smith, Haisla Nation; Jordan Pechie, Senior Vice President, Seaspan Marine Transportation; Ed Ross, Cook/Deckhand, Seaspan Marine Transportation; and Luke Schauerte, Vice President (Asset), LNG Canada.

Wine and non-alcoholic drinks will be served with dinner. 

After dinner, a collection of pieces by Haida fashion designer Dorothy Grant will be showcased by models from Indigenous-owned Supernaturals Modelling, while DJ Kookum plays.
