The past six months have been a protein-packed whirlwind for Salmon Arm business partners Dave Allard and Will Miller.
The two will be in Vancouver Jan. 20 and 21 for the Indigenous Tech Conference where their venture, CarneBar, has earned them a spot among the top five finalists, out of 77 entrants, in the Indigenous Venture Challenge.
“It’s a competition slightly along the lines of Dragon’s Den, and there’s potential to get funding of up to $50,000,” said Allard, a long-time member of the Salmon Arm Métis Association.
