WPC Webinar | Shaping the Current: Indigenous Leadership in Hydropower

Building on her powerful contributions to Empowering Partnerships, last year’s panel discussion at Canadian Waterpower Week, Candice Tourville of Taykwa Tagamou Nation (an Ojibway and Cree First Nation in Northern Ontario’s Cochrane District along the Abitibi River) returns to continue the conversation on Indigenous leadership in hydropower.

This webinar will explore how Indigenous communities are shaping water stewardship and sustainable energy projects through active leadership, innovative collaboration models, and long-term planning. Candice will be joined in conversation by Lorena Patterson, President & CEO of WaterPower Canada, for a thoughtful discussion and Q&A. Join us for an engaging session on the role of hydropower in advancing economic development and greater community-led development for Indigenous communities – and how partnerships built on trust and respect are driving meaningful progress across Northern Ontario and beyond.
