IPMS is Canada’s only Indigenous-serving project delivery partner offering full-cycle training, advisory, and governance solutions grounded in Indigenous leadership systems, governance realities, and Nation-led planning structures.
For over two decades, we’ve worked alongside Indigenous Nations and organizations to strengthen project systems, develop internal capacity, and embed delivery structures that reflect community priorities, timelines, and accountability standards.
Every project we support is built for resilience culturally aligned, technically sound, and operationally sustainable.
Build internal leadership and planning tools so your projects are led from within, not outsourced
Embed project governance that protects against delays, scope drift, and breakdowns across funders, departments, and teams.
Create space for project leads across Indigenous Nations to connect, share lessons, and learn from each other building confidence through real-world examples
Shaped by 20+ years of on-the-ground delivery trusted by over 170 Indigenous Nations across Canada.
Our case-based training equips communities to lead not depend.
We’ve helped Nations like Ktunaxa Nation Council (BC), Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (AB), Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach (QC), and the Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq (NS) move from reactive project planning to confident delivery strengthening internal leadership, planning systems, and cross-department coordination from housing and capital infrastructure to Nation-led governance.
We help Nations embed project delivery systems that support growth establishing internal planning structures, decision-making frameworks, and Nation-led governance models that ensure consistency across departments, funding cycles, and leadership transitions.
This approach guided Moose Cree First Nation as they created a unified delivery system for their Territorial Land Use Plan, coordinating Lands, Environment, and Capital teams through a shared charter, stakeholder map, and deliverables-based structure grounded in Indigenous governance principles.
From monthly webinars to national peer circles, we create trusted spaces for Indigenous project leaders to exchange real solutions sharing what’s working, what’s not, and how others are moving projects forward under the same pressures.
Project management isn’t just about planning it’s how Nations bring structure, alignment, and long-term impact to their priorities.
We support delivery across Nation departments where project impact matters most from infrastructure to governance, from land to water. Here are a few of the Nations we've supported, and the systems we've helped them build:
IPMS equips Indigenous Nations and organizations with the tools, systems, and strategies to lead and deliver complex projects with clarity, confidence, and control.
We’ve worked directly with housing departments delivering capital projects, lands and governance teams building Nation-led planning systems, and public works managers coordinating infrastructure, maintenance, and long-term asset planning.
From Mistawasis to Ktunaxa, Athabasca Chipewyan to Moose Cree, our work has helped communities transform ideas into clear plans and complex priorities into coordinated action.
Whether we’re training departmental teams, supporting cross-functional coordination, or advising senior staff through scope and funding complexities IPMS delivers structure where it’s needed most.
