“I joined the SOAR Professional Services team as a junior field technician while completing a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. Upon graduation I was pleased to be a part of a loyal and supporting company in the early years of my career as an environmental biologist. As a reconnecting Indigenous woman, SOAR has motivated and assisted in guiding my personal journey for the overall goal of amplifying Indigenous success. Throughout my time with SOAR I have been a part of many exhilarating projects that have expanded my professional and personal knowledge. I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to have my boots on the ground and assist with regulatory assessments and Indigenous engagement sessions while advancing skills in data analysis and report development.

“I love being part of the SOAR team! While my role and connection to the SOAR team has changed since I started, I am so grateful to work with this amazing team. I started with SOAR as a project and team leader. I was given lots of opportunities to take on new and challenging work that was well aligned with my First Nation identity and perspective. I always felt our team had my back and that I was supported by the team, even when projects got challenging! Today, I am a Director of SOAR. I am honoured to be in this role and to help contribute to SOAR’s strategic leadership team and still be connected to the SOAR team.”

“I am grateful for the experience I gained during my employment at SOAR Professional Services. As an early career employee, I truly appreciate the project opportunities I was given, which allowed me to build and grow my skills, particularly in community engagement and project management. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked for an organization where I could directly apply my expertise and passion for braiding knowledge systems. As an Indigenous person, I am also especially thankful for the opportunity to work alongside fellow Indigenous staff and management. SOAR has provided me with invaluable skills and experiences that have enabled me to take the next step in my career, and I will always be grateful to everyone who was a part of that journey. Thank you ~ Miigwetch ~ Woliwon”
