Tahltan woman wins Indigenous Trailblazer award
Tahltan woman Freda Campbell has won the 2023 Indigenous Trailblazer Award presented by Women in Mining Canada.
“The United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Peoples has put an exclamation mark on what some of us have been working towards for a very long time,” she said. “I am honoured and humbled.” “We are very pleased that Freda is being recognized for the significant contribution she has made to communities and our industry over her career,” said Justin Himmelright, the company’s senior vice president of external affairs and sustainability.
