Christine Channer is an award-winning, community-focused, and strategic-minded leader with close to two decades of transformational success in education, Indigenous cultural diversity, relations, marketing, and finance.

Her team at Channer Consulting & Training prides itself on being inclusive and diverse, having built strong relationships with clients in various Indigenous and other racialized and/or marginalized communities and organizations across Canada.

A change-maker and community partner, Christine’s collaborative and client-centric approach begins with listening to the client and working to understand their specific needs. She then works one-on-one to tailor solutions based on her clients’ objectives, ensuring they are customized to empower them—through their learning and beyond.

A fierce advocate and ally for empowerment through education, learning, and strategic planning within Indigenous communities, Christine has traveled across Canada to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, creating training and innovative solutions that are accessible, empowering, and inclusive. She specializes in solutions that are customizable, flexible, and mobile, with a keen understanding that delivering in-community initiatives removes the common barrier for rural clients who are unable to travel to metropolitan centers.

Christine has served and continues to serve on several boards, committees, and groups that promote inclusive cultures. She is the Co-Chair for the Indigenous Works’ Linkages Project, Steering Committee in Alberta and was selected as part of the inaugural Strategic Management Committee during her time at NorQuest College. She is also a Mentor with interVivos and a Business Coach for the Action for Healthy Communities I.M.P.A.C.T. Employment & Entrepreneurship initiative.

Christine earned her Honours BA degree in Sociology from York University, is fluent in both English & French, and has more than 15 years of experience in business development and training. She is also a content creator and social media influencer, committed to overall wellness—and is just as fierce on a spin bike as she is in the boardroom!
