Chloe Dragon Smith

Chloe Dragon Smith is a young Métis woman from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Of Chipewyan and European heritage, she grew up close to her Indigenous cultural values and learned traditional skills for living on the land. This northern upbringing helped shape her values today.

Chloe holds a degree in Earth sciences from the University of Victoria. While educated in science, she is keenly interested in and has found her niche working with people on the social/cultural benefits of the natural world, particularly where those values meet science and conservation.

Chloe works with the Canadian Parks Council. Among other work, she co-chaired an intergenerational citizen working group that created a document called The Nature Playbook: Take action to connect a new generation of Canadians with Nature, which she continues to share across Canada. This project spans the continuum of nature, reaching all generations in cities, regions, states/provinces, and countries. Chloe was also recently appointed to the National Advisory Panel for the Pathway to Canada Target 1.
