PacifiCan’s Support Sparks Indigenous Entrepreneurship  

Posted on by bcachievement

Multi-year funding is a game-changer for the Indigenous Business Award (IBA) program and Gala Dinner. In 2024, BC Achievement welcomed PacifiCan as a two-year partner, helping ensure stability, thoughtful planning, and strong engagement. Now in the second year of this commitment, we remain deeply grateful for PacifiCan’s investment, which strengthens our ability to honour Indigenous entrepreneurs, businesses, and leaders across British Columbia.  

Together, we are elevating Indigenous businesses that create jobs, generate opportunity, and collectively employ hundreds across the province. PacifiCan’s support also enriches the Gala by engaging Indigenous entrepreneurs (who are also program alumni) in event services—from DJing and floral design to video production, décor, emcees, and performers.  

“Indigenous business leaders are driving innovation, creating opportunity, and strengthening British Columbia’s economy and culture,” said the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada. “By investing in the Indigenous Business Awards, PacifiCan is proud to celebrate their bold ideas, honour their achievements, and inspire future generations of Indigenous entrepreneurs.” 

BC Achievement extends heartfelt thanks to PacifiCan for its vision and support. Together, we are building a platform that celebrates success while inspiring future generations of Indigenous entrepreneurs across the province.

Join us on Wednesday, November 5, at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver to honour the remarkable 2025 recipients. Tickets available on Eventbrite here.

When Pam Baker (Himikalas/Sewid-duuk) received the 2024 Sam Carter Award in Applied Art + Design, her design which are rooted in traditional Indigenous forms and expressed through contemporary fashion, were celebrated across the province. That recognition amplified her voice and her practice, inspiring others and affirming the cultural and creative leadership she continues to share with British Columbia.

Pam’s story is joined by others. Wendy Toyer, honoured with the 2024 Community Award, has dedicated decades of volunteer work and mentorship to raising ALS awareness and providing support for families impacted by the disease. Her efforts have strengthened networks of care and resilience across BC.

James Hart, 71DANsuu, celebrated with the Award of Distinction in the 2024 Polygon Award in First Nations Art, is one of the most accomplished Haida artists of his generation. His monumental carvings and mentorship of emerging artists have advanced cultural knowledge and inspired new voices in First Nations art. 

Each of these awardees shows how recognition matters—not just to them personally, but to the communities and audiences their work touches. 

Celebrating Excellence Across BC 

This fall, BC Achievement will honour the 2025 recipients across its five award programs, each reflecting the values and strengths that shape our province: 

  • Community Award – recognizing service and leadership that make life better for others. 
  • BC Reconciliation Award – celebrating efforts that further reconciliation and strengthen relationships. 
  • Indigenous Business Award – uplifting innovation, leadership, and economic empowerment. 
  • Polygon Award in First Nations Art – showcasing artistic excellence and traditional knowledge. 
  • Sam Carter Award in Applied Art + Design – supporting creative innovation in applied art and design. 

The upcoming celebrations will add new stories to the legacy of recipients like Pam, Wendy, and James—individuals whose recognition has already inspired British Columbians across communities, industries, and generations. 

Why Nominate? 

Recognition does more than honour one person, it validates contributions, amplifies impact, and sparks inspiration. For many awardees, the award becomes a platform to share their work more broadly, to build new connections, and to mentor others. 

By nominating someone in your community, you help ensure their story is told and their impact is celebrated. You help say: your work matters, and we see you. 

Nominations Now Open 

Nominations for the 2026 award programs are open until February 15, 2026. Beginning the process now gives you time to gather letters of support, collect materials, and prepare a strong submission.

Recognizing the 2025 Emerging Leaders: Voices of the Next Generation

Posted on by bcachievement

Each year, the BC Achievement Community Award recognizes individuals who are making remarkable contributions to their communities – and among them, the Emerging Leaders shine as voices of the next generation. These awardees demonstrate vision, passion, and a commitment to creating positive change. 

In this feature, we catch up with the 2025 Emerging Leaders to learn what they’ve been working on since receiving the award and the impact of the recognition on their journey. Their stories remind us that leadership takes many forms, and that even early in their careers, these changemakers are making a lasting difference. 

Margaux Wosk – Champion for Disability Justice and Inclusive Design 

Vancouver-based advocate, artist, and entrepreneur Margaux Wosk has built a reputation as a trailblazer for disability justice and neurodivergent inclusion. As President of BC People First, Margaux works to amplify disabled voices and advocate for systemic change across the province. Through their business, Retrophiliac, Margaux creates communication tools and products by and for disabled, LGBTQIA2+, and neurodivergent individuals fostering pride, reducing stigma, and building community. 

Their leadership also extends nationally: Margaux spoke on Parliament Hill at the Disability Without Poverty rally, collaborated with People First of Canada, McMaster University, and Curiko on accessibility and education, and was featured on AMI’s Our Community for their advocacy and small business endeavors. Their artwork has even been included in York University’s Mental Health Literacy Guide for Autism, reflecting their belief in advocacy through creativity. 

Following their Emerging Leader recognition, Margaux has continued to expand their advocacy and creative entrepreneurship. They’ve grown their product line, built new wholesale partnerships, and used their platform to ensure that self-employment is recognized as a valid and inclusive form of work for disabled people. Beyond business, Margaux also engages in public speaking and mentorship, supporting disabled individuals who want to pursue creative and self-employed paths. 

Wenonah North Peigan – Policy Advocate and Indigenous Rights Leader 

Wenonah North Peigan is a member of the Piikani Nation, Blackfoot Confederacy, and Anishinaabe Odawa from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory. She has devoted her early career to advancing Indigenous governance, cultural preservation, and self-determination. As a Policy Analyst with the Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC), Wenonah works to bring Indigenous voices into decision-making processes and advocate for systemic change. 

Her leadership first gained attention through the Vancouver Foundation’s LEVEL Youth Policy Program, where she spearheaded the development of a comprehensive policy framework on repatriation and cultural sovereignty. That work continues to influence legislative change aligned with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). 

Since receiving the Emerging Leader recognition, Wenonah has expanded her impact. At UBCIC, she continues to advance First Nations’ priorities while also contributing to housing solutions through the 7 Generations Society of Alberta, supporting rent-to-own housing initiatives for Indigenous Peoples. Looking ahead, she plans to apply to law school to strengthen her advocacy and legal expertise. 

Trevor Mack – Storyteller, Cultural Advocate, and Community Builder 

Trevor Mack, a Tsilhqot’in filmmaker, cultural advocate, and community leader, is dedicated to uplifting Indigenous youth through storytelling, cultural revitalization, and mentorship. His debut feature film, Portraits from a Fire, explores the lived experiences of Indigenous youth, offering a message of healing and resilience. 

Together with his wife, Valeria Cazorla Mack, Trevor co-founded the Tletinqox International Cultural Garden Centre, which brings youth into traditional building, food growing, and cultural exchange with Indigenous communities in Mexico. Their food sovereignty projects provide free organic produce and teach food security in Tl’etinqox. They also founded NENQAYNI, a not-for-profit supporting cultural exchange and community healing. 

Trevor has also led the Dasiqox Tribal Park’s Back on the Land initiative, where youth trek the mountains, camp, and learn drumming, art, and medicine gathering blending resilience with cultural pride. Most recently, he was elected as the youngest Councillor in his community and one of the youngest across the Tsilhqot’in Nation, marking another step in his lifelong commitment to service. 

A Glimpse into the Future 

The journeys of our 2025 Emerging Leaders are only just beginning, yet their impact is already being felt across communities and sectors in BC. From disability justice and inclusive entrepreneurship to Indigenous governance and policy reform, to storytelling and youth empowerment, Margaux, Wenonah, and Trevor are proving that leadership is not defined by age or tenure, but by courage, vision, and action. 

We can’t wait to see where their paths lead next and how their voices will continue to shape a stronger, more connected, and more inclusive British Columbia. 

BC Achievement gratefully acknowledges the transformative commitment of RBC, our Foundation Platform Partner, whose support helps shine a light on the remarkable individuals who strengthen our province. We are also thankful to the Connor, Clark & Lunn (CC&L) Financial Group and its support of the Community Award Emerging Leader category.

Reconciliation in BC: Honouring the Past, Shaping the Future

Posted on by bcachievement

Reconciliation is more than a word or a single day—it’s a call to action. It’s important to acknowledge the truth of our shared history and righting relationships between First Nation peoples who have lived on these lands since time immemorial and settlers. It’s about respecting the strength, innovation, and leadership that First Nation peoples have always carried. 

My grandmother was a living example of that strength. She was a single mother of five who ran her own business at a time when it was illegal for First Nations women to do so. Despite laws and policies designed to assimilate and limit our opportunities, she built a livelihood for her family with determination, skill, and courage. Her story is not just one of survival—it’s one of resistance, leadership, and legacy. 

Across BC, there many stories similar to hers—stories that show the strength, building, and leading despite the colonial barriers in their path. While we can see the progress that has been made, barriers still exist. Many colonial policies remain embedded in our institutions and Indigenous people continue to face discrimination, intergenerational trauma, and social inequities. 

Reconciliation is an opportunity to face these truths head-on. It means understanding the impact of policies that banned our cultural practices and tried to silence our voices. We are faced with the challenge of dismantling the systems that continue to limit Indigenous potential today—and rebuilding new ones that uplift, empower, and honour Indigenous ways of knowing and being. 

While breaking down harmful systems is necessary for change, it’s just as important to recognize the beauty and brilliance of Indigenous worldviews: our deep ties to the land, our languages that hold entire worldviews within a single word, and our governance systems that prioritize balance, consensus, and planning for the next seven generations. We have always had laws, education systems, and spiritual teachings—carried through story, ceremony, and relationships. 

Our cultures are rich with reciprocity, respect, and responsibility. We hold up Elders as knowledge keepers, we understand time in cycles, not lines, and we live by teachings that remind us everything is connected. From the art that tells our histories, to the potlatches that honour generosity and community, to the storytelling that transfers law and legacy—these are not things of the past. They are alive and evolving. 

Whether in education, business, government, or community, we all have a role to play. Reconciliation requires more than statements—it requires action. It begins with truth, and it continues with learning, listening, and changing how we show up. 

My grandmother didn’t wait for permission to lead—and neither should we. The time for real, lasting change is now.

Meghan Weeks: Finding Laughter, Connection, and Meaning in Metal 

Posted on by bcachievement

Photo: Meghan Weeks, 2024 Judson Beaumont Emerging Artist and Sam Carter Award in Applied Art + Design recipient

Meghan Weeks, the 2024 recipient of the Sam Carter Award in Applied Art + Design, was honoured with the Judson Beaumont Emerging Artist distinction for her bold, playful, and deeply intentional jewellery practice. A self-described artist, maker, and small business owner, Meghan is the creative force behind MDW Jewelry, a label that fuses storytelling, humour, and cultural memory into tactile, wearable art. 

A member of Sucker Creek First Nation in Treaty 8 territory and a long-time resident of Vancouver, Meghan brings a unique blend of Cree teachings, childhood recollections, and natural inspirations to her work. Her pieces, often crafted from sterling silver and beads using methods like carving, beadwork, fabrication, and lost wax casting, aim to decolonize traditional jewellery-making while fostering conversation between the wearer and the work. 

“I think it’s super important to have humor in my work,” she shared. “Part of healing is laughter. I love to make people laugh and if I can’t do it personally with my weird sense of humour, I can do it through jewellery. So if I find myself giggling at my bench, I’m hoping the person wearing it later will be doing the same thing.” 

That spirit of joy and resilience is evident in her Survival Collection, a series of pieces that are both functional and humorous. One standout? A whistle cast in sterling silver from a chicken wing bone. “We ordered some chicken wings for supper one evening and I thought, ‘Maybe I can make a whistle out of one of these.’ I boiled it down and made a whistle out of the hot wing, which then became a sterling silver piece.” 

The juxtaposition of the ordinary with the ceremonial, the humorous with the profound, is where Meghan’s work shines. Each piece tells a story rooted in lived experience, family tradition, and cultural knowledge. “To have my wearer feel that—that’s a beautiful thing. It means the translation is working. To think something up and then have someone else wearing it and feeling it—that’s kind of mind-blowing.” 

Her artistic journey is shaped not only by her formal education—she holds a BFA in Media Arts from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design—but also by her roles as a mentor, collaborator, and cultural contributor within BC’s vibrant Indigenous arts community. Since 2018, her work has been featured at festivals, galleries, and in private collections, reaching both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences. 

Receiving the Judson Beaumont Emerging Artist distinction was a deeply meaningful moment for Meghan. “It literally blew my mind. I cried—it’s an honour,” she said. 

Through her artistry, Meghan Weeks is creating space for cultural memory, humour, and human connection to co-exist and she’s doing so with authenticity, curiosity, and a whistle made from a chicken wing.

A Catalyst for Change: Phyllis Webstad 

Posted on by bcachievement

Phyllis Webstad, a Northern Secwepemc (Shuswap) author and activist and a recipient of the 2024 BC Reconciliation Award, is one of the most recognized voices in Canada for raising awareness about the painful legacy of the Indian Residential School system. A member of the Stswecem’c Xgat’ First Nation, Phyllis dedicates her life to sharing her story, supporting survivors, and amplifying the call for reconciliation.  

Her journey of advocacy began in 2013, when she spoke publicly about her childhood experience at the St. Joseph Mission Residential School in Williams Lake. On her very first day there, the new orange shirt she proudly wore was taken from her—a small but powerful symbol of the immense loss suffered by thousands of Indigenous children who were stripped of their identities, cultures, and dignity. That story inspired what we now know as Orange Shirt Day, recognized annually on September 30 underpinning its mantra of ‘Every Child Matters”. The grass roots’ movement shares its day of recognition with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time for Canadians to reflect, learn, and commit to building a more just and inclusive future. 

Beyond Orange Shirt Day, Phyllis continues to guide others on the path toward healing. As a member of the Survivors’ Circle, she offers support to fellow residential school survivors, and through her books, The Orange Shirt Story and Every Child Matters, as well as the documentary Returning Home, she ensures these truths are not forgotten. Her advocacy helps younger generations understand the past and inspires hope for the future. 

To recognize her extraordinary contributions, the BC Reconciliation Award program introduced a new category this year: The Phyllis Webstad Emerging Leader Designation. This designation celebrates the leadership and resilience of young people who carry forward the spirit of reconciliation—echoing Phyllis’s own words: 

“In our children, in our young people, we have hope. They are the ones who will lead us forward, and we need to support and encourage them every step of the way.” 

As September 30 approaches, let’s wear our orange shirts with purpose and remember that reconciliation is not a single day but an ongoing journey. Together, we can honour survivors, support healing, and create a more inclusive tomorrow. 

At BC Achievement, we are committed to advancing reconciliation through the BC Reconciliation Award program, which shines a light on leaders and changemakers across the province. We invite you to join us in this important work—because every step toward understanding and respect brings us closer to true reconciliation. 

Nominate an outstanding individual or group for the 2026 BC Reconciliation Award program.
