Heather Swan, RPP

Director

Heather works for an Indigenous owned company, Indigenous & Community Engagement, and this has reinvigorated her commitment to reconciliation. Her work has evolved from being an ally to an accomplice which takes a more active role in supporting Indigenous voices and being a change maker.  Her  work and personal life experiences have provided an appreciation of varied viewpoints, working tactfully and effectively with multiple and diverse individuals and organizations. Heather shares that as planners, most of the work impacts all of our relations (water, land, people, plants and animals) for the next seven generations and more.  As an ally, Heather aims to support OPPI and Indigenous Peoples in addressing the challenges we face now, and the challenges ahead in being allies. Building genuine inner relationships with Indigenous Peoples will provide many more opportunities.
