Willow Lake experience

During his time as CEO of Willow Lake Métis Nation, Justin built the Nation’s innovative governance and ESG frameworks, and forged several strategic partnerships to create revenue and job opportunities, spur community development, and secure the Nation’s future. Under his leadership, Willow Lake Métis became a self-governing Nation. In addition, through the Sohkastwâwin initiative, which in Cree means “the act of being resilient”, the previously landless Nation purchased 205 acres of land that it plans to reclaim and develop in a sustainable way, providing their community a home for the first time.
