Perry Stein

Building strong relationships is at the core of Perry Stein. As the first-ever Indigenous Relations Advisor for the City of Lethbridge, Stein integrates community planning and reconciliation to bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples together. Having led the first broad survey of Indigenous heritage in the city, his work explores topics previously overlooked by the community planning profession, including the incorporation of Indigenous Traditional Knowledge and the meaningful engagement of Indigenous peoples and communities. Stein is a leader in advancing the conversation around industry’s role in reconciliation, and he frequently shares his knowledge with local and global communities. His level of dedication to this work, coupled with his experience in the public sector, has set the stage for years of vital growth and change across communities.
