Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada Kwikwetlem First Nation Full time


←Back to all jobs at Kwikwetlem First Nation

Project Coordinator





kʷikʷəƛ̓əm First Nation are a distinct BC First Nation whose
traditional territory centers on the Coquitlam Lake Watershed and the
surrounding areas. kʷikʷəƛ̓əm draw our name "Red Fish Up the River†from a run
of sockeye salmon that once flourished in the Coquitlam River and Coquitlam
Lake prior to the construction of the Coquitlam Dam. Our name reflects the
strong connection our people have always had to our lands, and the river and
lake at the heart of our traditional territory. The traditional language of the
kʷikʷəƛ̓əm people is hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, previously Downriver Halkomelem. Our
people descended from Elders who were renowned as spirit and winter dancers,
skilled canoe builders and master sturgeon and salmon fishers. The Nation is
committed to building a strong, self-governing Nation which honors our rich
culture, language and history and is based on ancient Coast Salish laws and
protocols. Today, as in the past, we are guided by our teachings of our
ancestors to be stewards and guardians of our lands and water for past,
present, and future generations.

KFN is committed to economic development to promote the
self-determination and long-term growth of the Nation.  The Nation's companies are responsible for
carrying out all business operations, through companies such as KFN Enterprises

 Job Purpose

proponent inquiries from Federal and Provincial Ministries, Crown Corporations,
Regional Authorities, neighboring municipalities, private sector companies and
non-Governmental Organizations (NGO). These inquiries pertain to a wide range
of issues that are of concern to KFN, such as archaeology, culture, environment,
fisheries, stewardship, land rights and title and land use.

 The department's goal is to reach a mutually beneficial solution
to these inquiries – a solution that serves the needs of KFN, Regulators and
