Sharlene Gale is on a mission to promote infrastructure projects in First Nations.

As Executive Chair of the First Nations Major Project Coalition, she has been involved in massive energy projects, but has seen the merits of small, community-based infrastructure as well.

Host Richard Perry spoke with Ms. Gale during a break at the recent Leading the Way 8 conference in Markham, Ontario. (Apologies for the intermittent hallway noise!)

She says it's critical that Canada recognize and address the massive infrastructure gap in communities across the land.
