We are broken hearted by the news that our friend Niilo Edwards has passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and loved Niilo.It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of FNMPC’s Chief Executive Officer, Niilo Edwards, ICD.D, after a sudden and unexpected turn in his fight against cancer.Niilo was not only a leader but a visionary. As the first Executive Director and CEO of FNMPC, he took on the challenge with an unwavering commitment to economic inclusion, shaping the organization into what it is today: a driving force for First Nations participation in major projects across Canada. Niilo believed sincerely in the power of partnerships rooted in respect, trust, and shared prosperity—principles that will continue to guide us as we move forward.“We are heartbroken by the loss of Niilo, who is like family to us here at the FNMPC. As a founding member of the FNMPC, his legacy and vision will continue to inspire and guide us as we move forward. Niilo’s unwavering dedication and visionary leadership have been instrumental in advancing the FNMPC to where we are today. His commitment to economic inclusion and supporting First Nations to lead in meaningful partnerships has set a standard for us all. While there may be some adjustments as we navigate this difficult time, the Coalition will continue to serve its members while we mourn Niilo.” - Executive Chair Sharleen Gale.To honour Niilo’s memory, donations can be made to the Organ Donation and Transplant Research Foundation of B.C. at www.odtrf.org.We thank our members, partners, and supporters for your understanding, kindness, and grace during this difficult time.Niilo’s legacy will forever inspire our path forward. As Niilo would say, “We are Stronger Together". ... See MoreSee Less

Dave Eby and his freespending, anti-growth ways have put B.C. in an economic pickle. We're not ready for the storms ahead.

Jock Finlayson of @icbabc lays out the challenges in @BIVnews.
