Description
Donna is a proud First Nations woman. She is a member of Minegoziibe Anishinabe (formerly Pine Creek First Nation). Donna found herself moved by both the work and recommendations of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission to form a FEDERALLY INCORPORATED not-for-profit residential construction business, focused specifically on the plight and the poor housing conditions of Indigenous people living both on- and off-reserve.
Donna has spent 20 years in the residential construction industry, beginning as a tradesperson. Over time, she worked her way up from being a labourer to becoming a project manager. During her career in private residential development, she has helped deliver more than $500M in projects. Donna has been featured in a national campaign with Canadian Construction Association and is the Manitoba Representative for Startup Canada Women campaign.
