Testimonials
“The Program’s broad-based, grassroots approach to community economic development is extremely valuable, surprisingly innovative, and completely refreshing.”
Dave Kalinchuk, Economic Development Manager, Rocky View
“I came to the program because of my desire to find a new way of making economics relevant to First Nations’ communities because nothing has seemed to really work that both reaches the community and engages them. I found a way to do that here.”
Jessica Hill, Oneida Nation of The Thames
