Sharing Stories and Building Communities: A Discussion on Natural Resource Development with Stewart Muir

In this episode of the Rez Dog Walkers Podcast, we are excited to welcome back Stewart Muir, President and CEO of Resource Works and founder of the Indigenous Partnerships Success Showcase (IPSS). As a former journalist and editor, Stewart knows the value of listening and learning from the stories of Indigenous communities. 

Join host Dallas Smith and Stewart as they discuss recent developments in a wide range of resource industries, from aquaculture to LNG. They highlight the importance of forums like IPSS and BCNRF in creating venues for sharing stories and creating valuable opportunities for development. Stewart shares some of the lessons he has learned from working with Indigenous communities, particularly the need for non-Indigenous actors to listen to the needs of Indigenous communities first before proposing solutions. 

They also emphasize several insights from Get It Done BC, a forum hosted by Resource Works at the recent Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) Convention that addressed key issues facing B.C.’s natural resource sector, including the rural-urban divide and the need for close collaboration between Indigenous communities and municipalities.
