About the Speakers
Chris Syetáxtn Lewis has been at the forefront of the resurgence of Indigenous developments that are transforming our region. He was a founding member of the MST Development Corporation that links the Musqueam, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh First Nations. They are developing six prime properties currently worth over $1 billion. He seeks to ensure that Indigenous values remain primary through consultations with elders and other members of the community and that these insights are shared with aboriginal people internationally.
Chris is serving his 3rd 4-year term as Councillor of the Squamish First Nation. He has taken leadership roles on many organizations such as serving on the Board of his alma mater Simon Fraser University including a term as Chair. Chris will be joined by one of the most seasoned professionals in the development world.
David Negrin was head of Concord Pacific as it transformed North False Creek from a railyard into an internationally celebrated liveable community and led Aquilini Developments through many of its exciting projects. David will share his insights on how indigenous values and experiences can teach us all about creating a better, more resilient city.
