The University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business has received a $1M grant to expand its Ch’nook Management Program, which supports Indigenous entrepreneurs and small business owners. The program provides Indigenous business leaders with skills, culturally-aligned education, and mentorship to help them build community-led businesses. With the grant, the program will be able to support about 150 participants annually. “A thriving Indigenous economy is essential to reconciliation, and this grant empowers us to take meaningful action in fostering the next generation of Indigenous business leaders,” explained UBC Sauder Executive Director of Indigenous Business Initiatives Dennis Thomas-Whonoak.
