Ronald  Wells is a member of the Wiikwemikoong First Nation located on Manitoulin Island, Ont. He has more than 26 years of experience in professional security. Wells founded Cancom Security in 2008. The company provides a range of security services — including security guards, close protection, private investigations and loss prevention — and is based in Toronto with offices in Ottawa and Kelowna, B.C.

Wells has a vision for community-based security services by employing First Nations people to serve in their own communities. He was also instrumental in the provision of security measures for many at-risk First Nations communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wells established the Cancom Foundation as a charitable organization in 2021. Via a golf tournament hosted by the foundation, Cancom Security supports Wiikwemikoong Hawks Minor Hockey, the Wikwemikong Board of Education and the Angel Project, which provides assistance and support to patients in complex care hospital units.
