Max brings a unique suite of skills from an extensive business background. His previous senior positions have harnessed a passion for advocating for Alberta’s world class landscape, the critical fabric of rural communities and the people that care for it. He is a perceptive individual who enjoys working with organizations in building realistic strategic solutions that collectively advance relevance and purpose. Currently, Max is the Executive Director of Western Sky Land Trust, a regional land conservation organization focused on southern Alberta. Here, he has the pleasure of safeguarding the beauty of our natural landscape in partnership with ranchers and farmers that share those same values. He also has the honour of serving as the President of the Alliance of Canadian Land Trust and is an active member of the Regional Land Trusts of Alberta.
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.
