We are IH: Indigenous Engagement lead values holding space

June 19, 2025
Jade joined Interior Health in 2018 after more than seven years with the Saskatchewan Provincial Health Authority.

Name: Jade Chaboyer-Kondra
Job Title: Lead, Indigenous Engagement
Length of Service: 7 years
Worksite:  Work from home in syilx territory (West Kelowna)
Community: West Kelowna
Ancestral Territory: syilx

If you ask Jade Chaboyer-Kondra what drives her, she’ll tell you it’s in building relationships with people who work to make a difference in their communities and Nations. That passion is evident in the skill, knowledge, insights and compassion she brings to her work every single day. 

You may know Jade in her role as lead, Indigenous Engagement on our Indigenous Partnerships team, or as a former host of the IH’s Indigenous health and wellness podcast, Interior Voices. We connected with her to learn more about what inspires her, the meaningful experiences she’s had throughout her career, and her life outside of work (spoiler alert: you’ll see her wearing orange and blue during the NHL season).
