The 2025 CNL Whiteshell Regional Gathering of Leaders brought together Indigenous Nations, youth, community leaders, and industry partners for a day of listening, learning, and collaboration.

Speakers emphasized the power of inclusion, storytelling, and partnership, from Sagkeeng First Nation Chief E.J. Fontaine’s call for Indigenous involvement in economic development to CentrePort Canada's Carly Edmundson’s reminder of what communities can achieve together. Chuck Davidson, of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, encouraged us to bring new energy to Manitoba’s story.

This community truly shines when we come together to listen, learn, and build a shared vision for what comes next.

Among the threats to national security are narcotics such as fentanyl and its analogues, improvised explosive and incendiary devices and other non-nuclear illicit substances. The materials that make up the vast majority of these threats pass through Canadian borders at some point. The team of nominees developed and implemented a multi-pronged, approach to overcome the difficulties in detection of opioids and explosives in a variety of packages. They developed a prototype system for enhanced secondary, rapid non-destructive screening at borders, in mailrooms, and in similar facilities. Furthermore, the team created a library of compounds measured and analyzed during the project.

Absolutely amazing project!
