How CCIB Is Powering Change: Indigenous Leadership in Canada’s Energy Sector

Tabatha Bull, President & CEO at Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB), discusses how community involvement in projects, particularly through revenue-sharing and capacity-building, enables communities to reinvest in both local and broader initiatives while participating as business stakeholders. She highlights renewable energy projects in Ontario as a key example, where policy incentives promote Indigenous participation by offering higher payments per kilowatt under power purchase agreements, encouraging First Nations partnerships and investment in sustainable development.
