Willow Lake Métis Nation CEO Justin Bourque shares his vision for the future of Indigenous equity in the energy industry
July 8, 2021
The Canadian Energy Centre recently published the following article about WLMN developments.
Justin Bourque started envisioning a pathway to prosperity for his community growing up on his family’s trap line outside of Anzac, Alberta, in what is now the heart of oil sands drilling production.
Surrounded by development creeping closer and closer, he says his life path and relationship with the oil and gas industry has been spiritually guided by a series of both welcome and unwelcome opportunities.
Today he is the elected Vice President and CEO of the Willow Lake Métis Nation (WLMN) and is developing a roadmap that outlines the steps Indigenous communities can take to invest their own capital into building energy infrastructure and assets.
