Angela Bellegarde

Angela Bellegarde (bell-guard) is the founder of Tâpwêwin Indigenous Insights Inc. She is a band member of Peepeekisis (pee-pee-kuh-sis) Cree First Nation in the Treaty 4 Territory of Saskatchewan and has lived in the Halton Region for the past 15 years.

Angela holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutrition from the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition as well as a Master of Business Administration degree, both from the University of Saskatchewan. Her studies have focused on Indigenous health and Indigenous women in leadership roles.

Ms. Bellegarde has had many professional opportunities such as Public Health Nutritionist in rural health regions of Saskatchewan, the first Aboriginal Partnership Development Lead for the Saskatoon District Health Board, and the Director of Aboriginal Education programs at the College of Commerce at the University of Saskatchewan.

Angela believes her role in life is to continue on her family’s legacy of walking in two worlds, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, and to bridge the gap that currently exists between these communities. Her passion is to be a shift disturber and encourage non-Indigenous people to look at the world, our shared history, and our future from a new and different perspective.

Angela is ecstatic about the opportunities that exist in our workplaces and communities to make a considerable shift toward Reconciliation.
