Justin Roy
Councillor
Kebaowek First Nation
Justin Roy holds a Bachelor in Business Administration from Salem State University with a concentration in Accounting and Finance and a Minor in English. He has also completed extensive training in Indigenous economic development and Indigenous studies. For the past 11 years, he has served as Director of Community Development for Kebaowek First Nation and is currently in his fourth term and seventh year as an elected member of Chief and Council. Justin is a driving force behind Kebaowek’s progress in economic development, community infrastructure, and cultural and language revitalization. He is a committed defender of Indigenous rights and title, with a strong focus on protecting Kebaowek’s unceded Algonquin Territory. He leads consultation and land management efforts, including acting as the point person on the Chalk River NSDF file. Under his leadership, Kebaowek secured two recent court victories—one affirming obligations under UNDRIP and the UNDA, and another challenging Species at Risk permitting tied to the NSDF project.
