Isaiah Robinson is the CEO of the Kitasoo Development Corporation and the Deputy Chief Councillor of the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation. With a background in business and management, he returned to his homeland in 2016, initially managing the Housing and Public Works Department before transitioning to his current roles. Isaiah has completed his MBA through Simon Fraser University.
In his third term on the Council, Isaiah is committed to sustaining the economic success initiated by his predecessors, notably in achieving a 99% employment rate in his community. This success is partly attributed to the community's strategic partnership in aquaculture since 1998, an industry integral to the economic growth of the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation. Under Isaiah's leadership, the community continues to build upon the vision of ensuring a breadwinner in every household, a testament to the sustainable and progressive economic strategies he champions.
Isaiah Robinson, along with former leadership, has been instrumental in supporting and advancing a robust and enduring partnership with the salmon farming industry, a vital component of the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation's economic prosperity. Their collective leadership has played a pivotal role in nurturing this collaboration, which, through collaborative efforts and sustainable practices, has not only thrived but also established itself as a beacon of environmental stewardship within the aquaculture community. Their commitment to preserving their traditional territories and setting industry-leading operating standards extends beyond their tenure and continues to shape this crucial relationship today.
