FNLMAQL News

FNLMAQL welcomes back Nadia Prevost-Lowry!

We’re excited to announce that Nadia Prevost-Lowry will be stepping into the role of Project Manager during Kendra’s maternity leave.

Nadia decided she couldn’t stay away from the Association for too long! While away working with the Canada Energy Regulator, she learned more about working with the government, building meaningful relationships with Indigenous groups, and about the different energy contexts and priorities across Canada.

She is really excited to bring what she learned to her work with the Association over the next year. If you want to know more about any of these aspects, we encourage you to reach out to her!

Welcome back, Nadia! You’ll be able to meet or reconnect with her in-person this fall at our Annual Membership Meeting in Kahnawake and the FNHPA Conference in Montreal in October.
