As a progressive leader, you are a skilled collaborator, negotiator and relationship builder able to influence complex decisions that impact a large stakeholder base. You bring a deep understanding of the history, cultures, and contexts of First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities and law, and a reputation as a collaborator skilled at engaging and building trusting relationships. Your ability to inspire and empower teams and capacity for facilitating systemic change will position you for success. An understanding of the cultures and contexts of First Nations and Métis communities will position you well in this role. A university undergraduate degree is required.
