Shannon Henderson

I started my journey with Vancity thirteen years ago working in the branches serving our membership and followed my passion to Human Resources. I’ve played many roles within Human Resources and was honored when I was seconded to the Diversity and Inclusion team as Vancity built their approach to embed Reconciliation as a core value. Being on the Reconciliation Team has given myself tremendous strength in my personal and professional journey. A part of my journey, I’m incredibly proud of the connection back to my community and I now perform in my regalia with family and shares stories and sacred songs as taught by my elders. I’m a proud Squamish First Nation woman and will continue to be an active member as my late grandfather Edward Gilbert Nahanee who was an activist with the Native Brotherhood who fought for First Nations rights and won The court battles for Canada Pension for First Nations Peoples. I will honour and respect all his hard work and what he did for all our First Nations people. ��
