Who is David Gill?

Athlete, Coach, Consultant, and Speaker

Kuei! Let me introduce myself

I am David Gill, a Pekuakamiulnuatsh, born and raised in the beautiful community of Mashteuiatsh. Sports, health, and well-being are my passions, and I love to share them to promote an active lifestyle.

At 11 years old, I participated in the Inter-Band Indigenous Games for the first time, and that's when I discovered my passion for training. Many years later, this passion led me to join the national team.

As an athlete, I had the honor of representing Canada in the 800 meters at international competitions. After my sports career, I founded one of the first online coaching software programs in the world, used by clients everywhere.

This journey has taught me discipline and perseverance.

My Commitment to First Nations

My commitment to First Nations truly took flight when I was an athlete.

I began visiting communities to present my talk "A Dream and a Lot of Hard Work," an initiative that has reached thousands of young people in dozens of communities.

Today, I continue to travel to communities for various projects and live actively, with the simple goal of maintaining my quality of life and inspiring others to do the same.

Project Management

As a consultant for First Nations, I specialize in project management for First Nations communities.

My goal is to design and implement health and wellness initiatives tailored to the specific needs of each community.

Whether it's creating fitness infrastructure, organizing sports events, or establishing health programs, I bring my expertise and support to enhance the quality of life in the communities.
