Author: Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit June 19, 2025 Duration: 41:00

Marissa Nobauer, Director of Reconciliation, Community Engagement & External Relations at TELUS, and Carol Anne Hilton, CEO and Founder of the Indigenomics Institute and a distinguished member of TELUS’ Indigenous Advisory Council (IAC) explore how corporate Canada is rethinking reconciliation through action.

The IAC was established to embed reconciliation into TELUS’ corporate strategy, guided by ongoing input from Indigenous leaders and subject matter experts. Recognising the diverse needs of Indigenous communities, this council ensures TELUS’ commitments are both principled and actionable, creating a framework of community-driven accountability. This discussion offers critical insight into how Indigenous partnership models are reshaping priorities, corporate governance, and long-term investment value in Canada.
