Green energy and Aboriginal business, best of both worlds – NOB
6/30/2015
Today, Aboriginal business is waking up from a long forced hiatus through the efforts of organizations such as The Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB).
The organization was founded in 1984 by a small group of visionary business and community leaders committed to the full participation of Aboriginal people in Canada’s economy.
In fostering economic opportunities for Aboriginal people and businesses across Canada, CCAB, essentially works as a bridge between corporate Canada and Aboriginal business Canada.
Aboriginal self-employment is on the rise.
According to the 2006 Census, there are more than 37,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis persons in Canada who have their own businesses, a significant increase of 85 percent since 1996.
