She is currently completing her Masters in Environment and Sustainability (MES) at the University of Saskatchewan where her thesis work is focused on developing community energy planning tools that are specific to Indigenous communities. In her spare time, Jenna enjoys spending as much time as she can outdoors enjoying paddling, hiking, cycling, cross country skiing, hunting and fishing.

Ms. Christina Swan

Ms. Christina Swan

Christina Swan is the Finance & Operations Coordinator for First Nations Power Authority. Her previous positions with Canadian Natural Resources Ltd and Sakimay Retail Entities provided an ideal foundation for her to grow into her present role as she uses her bookkeeping and accounting skills to carry out day-to-day essential business functions.

As a Saulteaux (Ojibway) woman from Muskowekwan First Nation, Treaty 4 Territory, she was taught to be mindful of our Indigenous communities and Mother Earth. Although Christina grew up in Edmonton, she gravitated towards relocating to Regina with her supportive husband and beautiful son and daughter to learn how to give back to the community in a meaningful way. “It’s easy to work for an organization that you believe in, and I believe in working towards common goals such as Indigenous inclusion for economic development opportunities in the environmentally-preferred or renewable energy sector for the success and growth of a better economy; for a better quality of life.”

Ms. Tanya Lee Grondin

Tanya Lee Grondin

Tanya Lee Grondin (Pratt) is a member of the George Gordon First Nation and lives in Regina. Tanya has two children Zachary and Megan. She lived in Alberta from 1998-2018 and worked at Big Hill Lodge in Cochrane in an assisted living facility as a Resident Care Aide. In this role, she supported more than 75 seniors. Tanya Lee said that before she turned 50, she wanted to move back home to the prairies (Saskatchewan) to be with her family and friends. Tanya Lee now works with FNPA to support the pathway to powerful opportunities through the development of Indigenous-led renewable energy and power generation. She feels really blessed to work with such a great team.
