9th Annual Vancouver Gala
On Thursday, September 29, 2011 The Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) welcomed guests to our 9th Annual Vancouver Gala dinner at the Four Seasons Vancouver. Guests enjoyed a delicious 3 course dinner, were captivated by our Keynote Speaker the Right Honourable Paul Martin, and enjoyed the musical talent of Inez Jasper.
The Right Honourable Paul Martin was awarded the inaugural Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Relations. The Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Relations is designed to recognize a Canadian who has contributed, through professional and voluntary commitments, to building bridges between Aboriginal people and Canadian society.
The Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) also recognized and congratulated our Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) certified companies including Diavik Diamond Mines, Higgins Executive Search, Manitoba Lotteries Corporation, and Scotiabank. All companies are committed to improving corporate-Aboriginal relations through our PAR program and were awarded a gold designation.
