Jodi Conuel is a sustainability leader and project manager with expertise in renewable energy, climate action, and community engagement. As the former Shift Climate Transitions Program Coordinator at the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley, she led the development and impact measurement of key climate initiatives, including a community energy feasibility study that helped catalyze the creation of the Bow Valley Green Energy Cooperative (BVGEC), where she continues to serve as a founding board member.

Known for her innovative, data-driven approach and inclusive facilitation style, she applies a systems-thinking lens shaped by her background in ecology and specialized training in climate leadership and public participation.
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, including the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.
This land, known as Moh’kinsstis in the Blackfoot language and encompassing what is now Districts 5 and 6, is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.
We recognize and honour the deep connection these Nations have to the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share in its stewardship.
As we continue our work, we commit to learning from Indigenous knowledge systems, uplifting Indigenous voices, and fostering relationships rooted in equity, understanding, and reconciliation.
