Gibson

I am a canoeist and anthropologist, and the mother of two boys. Originally from a small farm in Alberta, I have long worked in the north and make my home in Yellowknife with my husband, Alistair. My work as an anthropologist with communities focuses on mining, mineral policy, social work, and impact assessment. I have designed programs in negotiation for large- and small-scale mining communities with Canadian mining companies in South America. I now work with indigenous communities to negotiate fair agreements with mining companies in Canada. As a Trudeau Scholar, I completed a PhD in Mining Engineering at the University of British Columbia.
