Episode notes

President, chief operating officer, band councilor and consultant on the set of Blackstone, Dean Janvier has done it all.

Growing up, it was the big screen that most interested Janvier, but it wasn’t meant to be.

A “fluke” job at the Assembly of First Nations has resulted in decades of work in First Nations and Canadian politics, economic development and Nation building.

Janvier, who is Dene and a member of the Cold Lake First Nations in northeastern Alberta, is now a partner in audit and assurance at Deloitte Canada.
