Biography

Qasim Saddique is a Management Consultant and Economist. For the past 18 years, he has worked in strategy, sustainability, environmental assessments, socio-economic development, and research in diverse industries. Qasim has had the privilege of working with Indigenous communities across Canada as well as different levels of government. Qasim has led national, regional, and local research projects that help formulate policy that underpins socio-economic development and sustainability initiatives. Qasim has also advised mining companies on sustainability strategy and Indigenous partnership frameworks. More recently, he has led the development of all-season roads in northern Ontario on behalf of First Nation proponents, which sets a new precedent for building Indigenous-led large infrastructure in remote places.

These projects bring significant new economic development opportunities for the 2 Nations as well as for northern Ontario.
