JP Gladu

JP Gladu has been tapped to lead the Indigenous Resource Network (IRN) in its shift from a volunteer-led group to a professional organization. Gladu, who hails from Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek (Sand Point First Nation) in northwestern Ontario, will serve as the group’s acting executive director, assisting with the search for a permanent leader. …IRN board chair Arnie Bellis said… “We remain committed… to growing opportunities for Indigenous participation in the resource sector. “With his background in forestry, mining, and oil and gas, JP is the perfect person to lead these efforts.” The Indigenous Resource Network was launched in 2020 as a platform for Indigenous workers, business owners and leaders who support Indigenous engagement in the resource sector.
