Over the last twenty years, Colin has represented the interests of Indigenous communities, industry, and government towards building legacies of economic wealth that foster traditions, culture, and environmental stewardship. Colin has a passion for new and innovative projects that involve Indigenous communities, clean technology and social ventures. Much of Colin’s experience concerns managing government-to-industry affairs. As the former Chief of Staff to Provincial Ministers, senior communications advisor with BC Hydro, an advisor with Corix Utilities, Johnson Controls, and Nexii Building Solutions, Colin has gained extensive experience and knowledge in relation to all levels of government and has participated in several leading-edge legal and regulatory developments – having successfully developed and implemented over 250 agreements, partnerships and protocols between Indigenous communities, governments and industry. Through his experience with modular construction and as a certified social housing manager (CertCIH), Colin is most proud of his work with the Yale First Nation, where they developed ten affordable housing units that were built to the Passive House construction standard – the energy-efficient homes funded by either INAC or the CHMC for an Indigenous community in Canada.
