Background

About Tim Fox

Im a proud member of the Blackfoot confederacy from the Blood (Kainai) reserve located two hours south of Calgary. Ive lived and worked in Calgary for the past 15 years although still consider my home fire the Blood reserve. I am the Vice President of Indigenous Relations & Equity Strategy with Calgary Foundation. I hope to strengthen and enhance the culture and practice at the Foundation while incorporating work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Racial Equity, both internally and in the broader community. I come from the not for profit children and youth sector. I serve as a board chair for The Circle on Philanthropy and Aboriginal People’s in Canada. I consult in areas including strategic planning through an indigenous approach, legacy education and transformational learning/unlearning design and delivery. Indigenous culture is rooted in oral tradition. I can't help but notice the parallels in this paradigm to the work of Calgary Foundation through stories of impact, giving nature and work of the heart. I hold strong to my Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy) value of Kimmapiiypitsinni: kindness and compassion to all things. I believe this work is generational. And there are ways this journey (work) can continue to thrive for generations to come.
