The Indigenous Business Award program is guided by an Advisory Panel of respected Indigenous business leaders, entrepreneurs, community members, and program alumni from across British Columbia. We are grateful for their knowledge, experience, and perspectives, which help inform the program and ensure it continues to reflect and celebrate the strength, innovation, and achievements of Indigenous business in the province.
