Walking Beside Nations for Over 20 Years
Across Canada, Indigenous Nations are leading projects that matter: closing the housing gap, ending boil-water advisories, building health facilities, protecting lands, and advancing clean energy.
Indigenous Project Management Solutions (IPMS) is proud to walk beside Nations on this journey. For more than two decades, we have partnered with 170+ First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities to strengthen project delivery with training, advisory services, and governance systems that reflect Indigenous law, values, and priorities.
Our Mandate
Vision
Empower Indigenous Communities to Protect the Land and Secure a Sustainable Future.
Mission
To deliver culturally grounded project‑management solutions that strengthen Indigenous leadership.
Purpose
Bring Indigenous visions to life through transformative projects that support the journey towards sustainable self-determination.
Who We Are
We are project managers, trainers, and advisors committed to one goal: ensuring every Indigenous Nation has the skills, systems, and confidence to deliver projects on its own terms.
- 20+ years serving Indigenous communities across Canada.
- Trusted by more than 170 Nations and organizations.
- Over 1,000 Indigenous leaders trained in project management.
- Projects supported in housing, water, energy, health, and land stewardship.
Our Approach: The 3Cs Framework
Our work is guided by the 3Cs—a Nation-led model for project delivery shaped by 20+ years of on-the-ground experience.
- Capacity → Build internal leadership and planning tools – so your projects are led from within, not outsourced.
- Continuity → Embed project governance that protects against delays, scope drift, and breakdowns — across funders, departments, and teams.
- Community → Create space for project leads across Indigenous Nations to connect, share lessons, and learn from each other — building confidence through real-world examples.

From Mistawasis to Moose Cree, Athabasca Chipewyan to Ktunaxa, we’ve supported Nations of all sizes and regions. Each partnership is built on respect, ceremony, and Nation-to-Nation collaboration.
“They didn’t just give us templates — they walked with us. Their work is grounded in who we are as a people.” — Community Leader, Treaty 6 Territory
