Alberta-grown business program has high success rate
EDMONTON—Helping aspiring aboriginal entrepreneurs be creative in their business endeavours is the aim of an unconventional seminar taking place on a reserve in Alberta this week.
Led by educator and art critic Norman Cornett, the seminar is part of a broader program, Change it Up, which helps the residents of Maskwacis, formerly known as Hobbema, establish their own businesses.
“Creativity and hard work go hand in hand,” says Cornett, the subject of a National Film Board documentary by Alanis Obomsawin, one of Canada’s foremost aboriginal filmmakers.
