Myra Metchooyeah

Program Coordinator, PAR Program

I am a proud member of the Dene Tha’ First Nation within Treaty 8 territory. Originally from one of the Northern Alberta communities of DTFN, Bushe River, which is near the town of High Level. I have worked with Indigenous and non-profit organizations for over 10 years within administrative and social development departments. I have also helped launch the first annual ‘National Gathering of Elders’ event in Edmonton, AB, in 2017.

Being a helping hand for Indigenous communities across the country is what I want to continue being a part of. Learning and taking in all the different aspects of culture and tradition is something that I enjoy engaging in.

I like meeting new people, road trips, events, photography, art, spending time with friends and family, movies, music, and anything creative. Because I am a problem solver, I also love doing trivia and sudoku. Spending quality time with my fur baby ‘Minx’, who is a tuxedo cat, is also something I enjoy in my spare time.  

I am excited to be a part of the CCAB team and looking forward to my new journey supporting Indigenous businesses, organizations, and communities. Helping people and building lasting relationships and connections is my goal.
