TakingITGlobal (TIG) is looking for young people who are inspired with ideas and ready to take action through youth-led community service grants"This past summer, the Tahltan Nation made one of the largest clean-energy investments by a First Nation in Canadian history by purchasing 5% of three Northwest British Columbia Hydro Electric Facilities.
This is just one of many examples of Indigenous peoples reclaiming their space in the Canadian economy. Before European contact, Indigenous peoples had a robust trade economy. In 1867, through the Indian Act, Indigenous inherent economic rights were systematically and expressly stripped. Today, through examples like the Tahltan Nation investment, we see that Indigenous peoples are reclaiming their rightful place in the fabric of Canada – especially in business.
As president and CEO of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB), and in my experience as a board member at the Ontario Power Generation, I have seen how business can be the most expedient route to lifting our communities out of poverty and getting us closer to economic reconciliation. At the same time, we’re seeing a strong push around the world for more renewable energy sources and environmentally sustainable businesses."

• Dress well. How we look is part of our image and it is important to show up looking how you want to be viewed. Bring your best clothes for the trip. Saturday (Canucks game) is more casual and so to is Sunday – but please still dress well.

You can do what you would like for dinner if you would like but the options are there and will be fully covered if you show up to them. After lunch on Tuesday, we have set out some options for you to consider. On Tuesday afternoon, visit the exhibit hall, talk with professionals and try to improve your life through this amazing opportunity.
If you do not attend the mandatory events, there will be consequences such as not receiving your daily allowance or not being considered for future events. Please be advised that if you are not completely present at events or show up to them in a manner unacceptable you may be sent home.
If we follow these general guidelines this event will be an amazing experience that you will never forget.
Being part of our TCG leadership in the pass was always put the best forward. Having the experiences sitting at the leadership table had been the horizon where we come from and where we are going collectively. To the people who never served on this level of Governance make it an opportunity to do it and voice yourself in a positive manner. Manner is what makes the difference. So you can be part of the difference. It is in all of us...just speak gently and it makes the difference. “If you want the honey don’t kick the bees nest”....when you listen to the smallest conversations it can be the best lesson you will ever learn...medu ...#leadershipisaboutlearning #beingthebestfortahltan
