Reporting to the Deputy Registrar, this role leads the integration of Indigenous-specific anti-racism policies and strategies, dismantles systemic barriers, nurtures a culturally safe environment, and ensures Indigenous perspectives and values are meaningfully embedded in CPBC’s programs, policies, and initiatives.
Working closely with Indigenous partners, CPBC staff, and regulatory interest holders, the Director leads strategic cultural initiatives and cultivates meaningful, sustained partnerships with First Nations governments and Indigenous organizations. This role provides strategic direction and thought leadership to strengthen organizational practices, systems, and structures that reflect CPBC’s commitment to reconciliation, cultural safety, and equity.
