NVision and Two Worlds Consulting are building partnerships with their clients and the communities in which their projects are based

NVision senior advisor Chris Grosset at Iqaluit Kuunga Nunalingnut with the Iqaluit Community Joint Planning and Management Committee, in June, 2019.It’s been nearly 15 years since Victor Tootoo retired from the civil service and as a deputy minister in Nunavut. “ wanted the opportunity to choose more about where I can spend my time and energy and who I work with,” he said in his farewell remarks. “In a government system, you don’t have that choice.

They aim to navigate the intersection of cultural awareness, environmental stewardship, and economic development, paving the way for a future where Indigenous voices and perspectives are heard and actively shape policy and decision-making processes. “One of the big things that I’ve been an advocate for is returning to our cultural origins and into matriarchal society,” he says, explaining that they have many “strong Indigenous female leaders” working at NVision.

Ms. Campbell says this kind of support is important for Indigenous nations when making decisions about their lands and environments because a lot of Western data and information contains barriers. “For us, making sure that our project delivery is good, our clients are happy and that nations are empowered to be able to make decisions based on the information that they’re presented – Indigenous businesses like Two Worlds are well positioned to do that.”
