Smith's Landing First Nation received funding from Alberta TrailNet to build bridges along the DesNethe Trail connecting Fort Smith to the Trans Canada Trail system. This will improve safety for travelers and connect the community to 24,000 km of trails. The funding will also create new jobs for the community and tourism is expected to increase. Thanks to engagement with community members, priorities were identified for economic development - a Band Development Co-op, Multi-Purpose Community Wellness Centre, and expanding tourism. A governance tour was planned to research how other First Nations have successfully implemented similar projects.

Unit 3
The Stop Six Sunrise Edition neighborhood association is working to bring economic growth and development to the historically African American Stop Six neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas. The neighborhood currently faces issues like abandoned homes, closed businesses, and low incomes and property values.

They have three main goals: understand community needs, learn from other redevelopment projects, and shift residents' mindsets after past failures. Their strategies include word-of-mouth outreach, phone calls, emails, and attending city council meetings. The association draws on members' expertise in city planning and business but lacks resources like time and funding.
Proposal Example- NEGEF

Survey Draft short
This document is a survey report on housing and community perceptions among Navy families in Kingsville, Texas. 119 Navy-affiliated individuals responded to the survey.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

- 1. SMITH’S LANDING FIRST NATION NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 29, 2016 SMITH’S LANDING FIRST NATION RECEIVES FUNDING FOR TRANS CANADA TRAIL TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS WILL CREATE JOBS FOR COMMUNITY The Trans Canada Trail will soon safely connect Fort Smith with the country’s 24,000 kms trail system. ALIF Partners worked with Smith’s Landing First Nation community members to help secure money from Alberta TrailNet to build bridges on the historic DesNethe Trail along the Slave River to help travellers travel safely along the path. Due to deterioration along parts of the trail, changes to the path will mean travellers on Canada’s trail system in the area will be able to travel from Fort Fitzgerald to the Town of Fort Smith safely on land. The approved funding for the construction of the bridges will mean new jobs for the community. Improvements to the 27 km section of the DesNethe trail is also expected to bring in tourists to the area, which could also mean tourism dollars for the community. WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO PLAN AHEAD DECIDING ON DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES Thanks to input from the community, ALIF Partners was able to work with Smith’s Landing First Nation members and band chief and council to establish opportunities for developing the local economy. Work started in October 2015, as Smith’s Landing First Nation worked with ALIF Partners to host talking circles, a listening campaign and a review of the community to find out the priorities of Smith’s Landing First Nation band members. More than 80 suggestions were provided, with topics such as Myers Lake to the pellet mills to survival camps discussed in group meetings. The band and council have decided on three priorities to move ahead with. Those priorities are the Band Development Co-op, the Multi-Purpose Community Wellness Centre and tourism. ALIF Partners worked with the community to create an action plan for each of the three priorities chosen by the community. Town of Fort Smith Fort Fitzgerald
- 2. How will the three priorities (a BDC, a community wellness centre and tourism) provided by the band enhance Smith’s Landing First Nation? It will help provide: • More jobs • More businesses • More services to the community HOW DOES THIS ALL FIT TOGETHER? Governance tour: ALIF Partners has organized a tour for Smith’s Landing First Nation band council members to visit six First Nations. The purpose of the tour is to learn how other First Nations are using their community wellness centres; to learn how other First Nation band councils are work- ing to recruit businesses and how other First Nations are attracting tour- ists to their communities. We will provide updates and more information after the tour in future newsletters. Band Development Corporation/Co-op (BDC): A Band Development Corporation or Co-op is a special kind of company setup by the band council to help attract more businesses to the community. A BDC in Smith’s Landing First Nation could help bring in more jobs, provide help in getting a business loan or could help bring in more businesses to the area. The governance tour will help band chief and council look at what BDCs at other First Nations are doing well and what could work in Smith’s Landing First Nation. Multi-Purpose Community Wellness Centre: The governance tour will also help band council members research which services would be best for the Smith’s Landing First Nation multi-purpose community wellness centre. The centre would be a place for the community to gather and access specific services needed in the area. Some examples of services found in other community wellness centres include children and youth programs like cooking lessons or homework help but also classes on First Aid and traditional arts as some examples. Tourism: Following the governance tour, Smith’s Landing First Nation chief and council will create a list of potential tourist attractions and programs for the community. ALIF Partners will review and help determine which tourism projects would be best for the community. • • • • COMING UPFIND OUT WHAT IS IN THE WORKS FOR SMITH’S LANDING FIRST NATION How crucial is the Band Development Corporation/Co-op (BDC)? It is the foundation to bringing in more jobs for the community by recruiting businesses long-term It will also help the community get the services and buildings the community wants It would also help keep political and development projects separate The role of the BDC is also crucial in developing tourism projects to help bring tourism dollars to Smith’s Landing First Nation • • • •
