WISA Member Lexis Roy Attends the Indigenous Clean Energy 2026 National Gathering!

This month between October 6-8 on Treaty 7 Territory, WISA member Lexis Roy represented our group at the Indigenous Clean Energy 2026 National Gathering. This gathering is an opportunity for Indigenous clean energy practitioners, leaders, and allies to connect and inform policy that creates meaningful pathways to Indigenous-led clean energy development. The gathering featured interactive workshops and discussions focused on Indigenous-led sustainability initiatives, traditional ecological knowledge, environmental protection, and community wellness. Participants had opportunities to exchange knowledge, build relationships, celebrate Indigenous cultures, and explore collaborative approaches to

advancing clean energy projects in their communities. Check out some of the images from the conference below!

Lexis is a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Science at AU, and is passionate about environmental protection and conservation. Lexis grew up and currently resides on one of the eight Métis Settlements in Alberta. We were honoured to have her represent us at the Indigenous Clean Energy National Gathering this year!
