The Kootenay Aboriginal Business Development Agency (KABDA) is pleased to once again present a Kootenay Aboriginal Business Showcase on March 22 and 23 at 220 Cranbrook St N.  Following our move into the Ktunaxa Nation Government Building, KABDA would like to keep the momentum going and welcome everyone to visit us not only in our new location but take part in celebrating our Aboriginal entrepreneurs and artists.

The Showcase will allow aboriginal entrepreneurs and artists from all over the Kootenays to come together in one location to showcase their wares, talent, products and services.

The Aboriginal businesses cover a diverse industry base, and you are sure to walk away with what you have been shopping for.

“Since I began working with KABDA I am both surprised and pleased to see so many aboriginal businesses in the Kootenay region.” said Janice Alpine, business coach/events coordinator.  And those numbers continue to grow. The Aboriginal operators need to capitalize on the aboriginal business growth in the region and be recognized as a significant contributor to the local economy.

The event is open to the general public. Come out and meet your local Aboriginal business operators and entrepreneurs and artists from all over the region.

The Kootenay Aboriginal Business Showcase proves to be two fun filled days scheduled with aboriginal entertainment, business demonstrations, and a mystery guest speaker.

Business operators and entrepreneurs can go to www.kabda.org to download the registration form. Contact Janice Alpine 250-489-0595 for more information on registration, events and talent.

To help celebrate in our event KABDA wishes to acknowledge and thank our sponsors: BC Hydro, Teck Coal Limited, and Columbia Power for their generous support.
