Joseph Plant

Though my time in both fields is fairly recent, with only a few years of experience in reconciliation work and social innovation, I look forward to Ashoka’s dual approach in bringing these issues forward and looking for opportunities to combine the two. I am taking part in the Advisory as I believe in Ashoka and Ashoka Canada. I have a strong feeling that amazing things will come from Ashoka Canada and this Indigenous Advisory.
