Carolanne Inglis-McQuay is the Director of Sustainability at Denison Mines, who leads the company’s work in relation to various agreement negotiations with Indigenous communities, community engagement activities, community investment programmes, and ESG reporting. She has proudly worked in the uranium mining industry for almost 20 years, beginning her uranium career with Orano (formerly AREVA) supporting the regulatory team in gaining a precedent-setting 8-year licence for the McClean Lake Operation with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. Recently she has led the Denison team on the journey of executing the very first publicly ratified Impact Benefit Agreement (called a Shared Prosperity Agreement) with English River First Nation – a first for Saskatchewan.

This work has complemented the other highlights of her career, which include working with variety of First Nations and Métis communities on executing industry-leading exploration agreements, which have become a catalyst for change in the exploration industry in Saskatchewan. Following her graduation from the University of Calgary in 2004, she began her career working for the Nunavut Impact Review Board while living in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, gaining both professional and life experiences that were transformative towards her comprehension of the beautiful diversity of the Indigenous people in Canada and their interests and relationship to resource development projects.

She currently lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with her wonderful husband and two young daughters. When she isn’t working, you can find her kite-skiing on the windy prairies, undertaking activities in the gym and the outdoors to maintain her strength and overall health, and cooking lovely meals to enjoy as a family.
