- Indigenous perspective expertise: preferably through lived experience as an Indigenous person with practice in relationship development with the City of Mission and/or other levels of governments, Indigenous economic development, understanding of the applicability of Indigenous title and rights in the economic development context, and the ability to guide relationships that create economic benefits for all parties involved, including Indigenous peoples, from projects both on and off reserve.
