  • Reggie George B.A.

    Executive Director, Special Projects and Partnerships
    Reggie George serves as the Executive Director of Strategic Projects and Partnerships at the Three Fires Group, a First Nations–owned investment organization headquartered in Kettle Point, Ontario. His leadership is defined by a commitment to advancing Indigenous economic sovereignty while positioning First Nations communities at the forefront of Canada’s clean energy transition.
    Championing Energy and Infrastructure
    In his role, Reggie has spearheaded initiatives that connect Indigenous communities to opportunities in electricity transmission and distribution. Through partnerships with companies such as Domino High Voltage and Tower Power Inc., he has worked to ensure that First Nations play a central role in both supplying and repairing critical energy infrastructure. His vision includes exploring the creation of a Local Distribution Company (LDC), which would allow Indigenous communities to directly manage and benefit from energy delivery systems.
    Driving Innovation in Recycling and Sustainability
    Reggie has been instrumental in advancing battery recycling and circular economy projects. A key example is the AKI Recycling joint venture between Electra and the Three Fires Group, which is pioneering Indigenous-led solutions for repurposing critical minerals and reducing environmental impact. This initiative not only addresses pressing sustainability challenges but also creates new economic pathways for First Nations communities, reinforcing their role as leaders in Canada’s emerging energy landscape.
    Building Strategic Partnerships
    Recognizing that collaboration is essential for long-term success, Reggie has cultivated partnerships across industries—from renewable energy developers to blockchain innovators. His earlier venture, Kadnim Financial Solutions, exemplifies his entrepreneurial spirit, leveraging emerging technologies to tackle climate change and support clean-tech start-ups. Today, his focus remains on forging alliances that balance economic growth with environmental responsibility.
    Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
    Reggie’s work is deeply rooted in the values of the Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, where he is a proud member. He integrates traditional knowledge and cultural stewardship into modern energy and recycling practices, ensuring that projects respect the land and benefit future generations. His approach emphasizes reinvestment of profits into community priorities such as housing, youth programs, and clean energy initiatives.
    Vision for the Future
    Through his leadership at the Three Fires Group, Reggie George is shaping a future where Indigenous communities are not just participants but catalysts in Canada’s energy transition. By uniting traditional values with modern innovation, he demonstrates how Indigenous-led ventures can drive sustainability, strengthen sovereignty, and build generational wealth.
