CCAB’s West Coast Business Forum on Thursday, October 6, focuses on what we do best – connecting people and businesses! Whether it be to innovate, learn, engage in discussions, pursue partnerships, make connections, or celebrate successes, our business forums provide concrete strategies to move your business forward.
Start the day with the Coffee Connection Networking Reception and shopping at the Indigenous Marketplace. Take ReconciliACTION during our morning fireside chat on the National Indigenous Economic Strategy. Attend workshops, roundtables, and panel discussions providing smart strategies, evolving ideas, and positive steps towards the journey to economic prosperity. Celebrate with us as we honour the 2022 recipient of the Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Relations, Dr. Marie Delorme.
