Dennis EsperanceDirector, 2Nations Bird Construction Board of Directors

    As a highly experienced leader with over 30 years of experience working with First Nations and Metis groups, I was appointed to the Board of Directors for the WCDC in 2017. In 2020, I was elected as Chairperson and currently serve as the Chairperson/CEO. Prior to joining the WCDC team, I spent 21 years at the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT), where I was part of the Management Team that secured legislation for SIIT from the SK Government. I also served as the Partnerships Manager with the Saskatoon Tribal Council’s Economic Development Department. In 2014, I joined the Enbridge team, where I worked on the Line 3 Replacement Program, engaging with Indigenous groups. Additionally, I worked on the Line 5 Tunnel Project in Michigan, assisting the Enbridge Great Lakes Region Team with Tribal engagement.
