I am very pleased to announce our new VP of Indigenous Leadership, Partnerships and Strategies is Wendy Landry.
Wendy was born in Nipigon Ontario, and is a Member of the Red Rock Indian Band. She moved to Thunder Bay in the 80’s to attend Confederation College. After graduation she worked 20 years in the correctional field, joined Confederation as a sessional and part-time member of Faculty for ten years, and then became Manager at Union Gas for Municipal and Indigenous Relations. As the result of the merger, Wendy became the Sr. Advisor of Indigenous Initiatives for Enbridge Inc.
Wendy has been a strong volunteer in the City of Thunder Bay with a long list of volunteer board and committee work including Negahneewin Council, Confederation College Program Advisory Committees, Confederation College Board of Governors. The list of committees she has volunteered on and continues to lead is extensive. She has been recognized with many leadership awards, is a strong advocate and committed to NWO. She is the Mayor of the Municipality of Shuniah, President of NOMA, and has always remained a strong advocate of Confederation College. Wendy and Pat have been together for almost 40 years, married for 35 and have raised 6 children. Together they enjoy travel, camping, traditional life of hunting and fishing, and as she calls it “bush life”!
Wendy’s first day will be July 31, 2023. We look forward to working with her.
