Let's Talk

Marc Pinkoski joins our Indigenous Relations team with over 25 years of experience. He brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to advancing community development, rights and title, and social policy.

Marc’s deep commitment to addressing Indigenous-identified needs, combined with his extensive background in research, education, and consultation, positions him as a key professional in fostering respectful and effective partnerships.

BTY partners with First Nations, the Métis, and the Inuit nations to deliver infrastructure and development solutions that enrich community capabilities. Our work, supported by industry partners and government stakeholders, aims to create prosperous and environmentally responsible projects that will benefit communities today and for generations to come.

One of our key initiatives includes the Closing the Infrastructure Gap by 2030 report commissioned by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), with support from Indigenous Services Canada (ISC).

For this initiative, BTY analyzed current needs for community development across more than 600 First Nations. We quantified the investment needed to equalize First Nations and non-Indigenous communities in terms of infrastructure and housing, and provided a roadmap for closing this gap to improve long-term community outcomes.

In his new role, Marc will enable us to share our knowledge and play a pivotal part in BTY’s advocacy for Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) with our public and private sector partners in development and infrastructure projects.

By advocating for FPIC, we respect Indigenous peoples as rightsholders, protect cultural heritage, and ensure that Indigenous communities have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their lands and lives. This aligns with BTY’s commitment to ethical business practices and sustainable development.

In addition to his hands-on experience, Marc has made significant contributions to academia, with 12 years of university teaching in Indigenous Politics, Contemporary Aboriginal Peoples of Canada, and Aboriginal Rights. He holds a PhD in Anthropology, History, and Law from the University of Victoria and completed a post-doctorate in Indigenous Peoples and Governance at the University of Montreal.
