CCIB’s West Coast Business Forum & Awards Dinner is returning to Vancouver, and we are pleased to announce our Dinner host, Geena Jackson, co-founder of Bears' Lair Dream Camps and executive producer and creator of Bears' Lair TV.
Geena is a proud member of the shíshálh Nation, and her passion for Indigenous entrepreneurship and youth empowerment has shaped every step of her journey. With over 25 years of experience, Geena has worked alongside communities, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to spark ideas, build businesses, and open doors across the country. At the heart of her work is one guiding belief: when Indigenous communities thrive, we all thrive.
The Awards Dinner, sponsored by BMO Financial Group, will honour Goodfish Coveralls, the recipient of CCIB’s Indigenous Business of the Year Award, presented by Ess Support Services Worldwide; Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Ltd, the recipient of the Indigenous Small Business of the Year Award, presented by Bouchier; and Jordan Baptiste (Creative Fire), the recipient of the Excellence in Indigenous Relations Award, presented by Sysco Canada.
