Spark Indigenous
Energy Summit Chair
"We’re at a pivotal moment—where Reconciliation, economic security, and energy development are converging with urgency and purpose. With over $630 billion in planned energy and resource investments, Indigenous leadership is essential to building the coalitions of success required to deliver these projects and ensure that their benefits are widely shared.
This isn’t just a moment of opportunity—it’s a turning point for Indigenous economic sovereignty and national prosperity.
as Chair of Spark, the Indigenous Energy Summit, I’m honoured to help bring together Indigenous leaders, industry partners, and changemakers. This Summit is about real conversations that lead to real action. Let’s build the future—together."
