About this listen

Councillor Dawn Francois likes to tell the story of how she discovered the First Nations Infrastructure Institute. And how it started a path that could pay big dividends for her community of Skwlāx te Secwepemcúl̓ecw (Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band), in British Columbia.

In this conversation, she is joined by fellow councillor Julie John, to talk about infrastructure needs and the value to community.

Recorded at the Leading the Way 8 conference in Markham, Ontario in October 2025.
