The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has a federal public interest mandate to enable Canada's trade through the Port of Vancouver—Canada's largest port. The port authority works collaboratively with terminal operators, supply chain partners and government to ensure Canadians and businesses can reliably access world markets, whether it's to export high-value Canadian products or import the goods families and businesses rely on every day.

Among Canada's Indigenous peoples, the combination of entrepreneurial drive, long-term wealth management practices, and rising interest in public and private partnerships suggest the great potential for Indigenous communities to build economic success. At the same time, these opportunities are offset by legislative constraints on raising capital, the challenges of operating enterprises in remote places, and a historic legacy of distrust felt by Indigenous Peoples. Fortunately, Scotiabank's Indigenous Financial Services group is eager to tackle the most complex business problems facing Indigenous Peoples, through knowledge-sharing that helps commercial clients navigate the challenges.

Leadership through Recovery

The Musqueam Indian Band, Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation are continuing to drive growth and opportunity for their Nation’s members and the region and have proven track records of success in economic development projects, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. The MST Development Corporation is a partnership established to oversee the properties jointly owned by the three Nations. These properties total more than 160 acres of developable land and are currently valued at over $2 billion.

Greater Vancouver Board of Trade invites you to our fourth annual Reconciliation in Action: Annual Address with Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
