Stan Kapashesit

Stan Kapashesit, Director of Economic Development for the Moose Cree First Nation is a proud member of this remote island community in Northern Ontario. Since beginning his tenure, Stan has researched and engaged the community in finding ways to help assist in the high cost of living in this area. One of the challenges is getting freight and items to the island community and when approached by Drone Delivery Canada in Spring of 2017, the Council felt it was worth exploring and being involved in new and innovative ways of the future. Moose Cree is a proactive community and feels that this opportunity can lead into more employment opportunities into the future as this field of innovation unfolds. One of the main objectives of this partnership is to help other remote Indigenous communities that are even more remote in utilizing this technology, as the plans are to make this community a hub and depot of the north.
