Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, Ontario

Lily-Anne (Lily) Mt Pleasant is a Kanienkeha’ka (Mohawk) woman from Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation in Southern Ontario. She studied International Business in London and Paris and graduated with distinction from Grenoble Ecole de Management in 2018. Since returning to her community in 2018, Lily has primarily worked in finance – holding positions at the Royal Bank of Canada and in corporate finance. She began at Six Nations Housing in March 2021 as a Financial Control Officer and took over as Senior Manager of Six Nations Housing in June 2022. She is now responsible for the effective management of 237 residential properties, 33 commercial complexes, and a $67 million dollar loan fund. Since graduating in 2018 with nothing but debt to building a home in 2021, Lily understands the importance of enabling youth to reach and maintain their financial goals, and the vital role that housing managers play in the overall well-being of their communities. Lily resides on Six Nations of the Grand River, in a home she built using the very program she now oversees, with her partner, Michael, and their dog and gecko.
