On November 23, 2016, the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) and the Alberta Enterprise Group (AEG) hosted Aboriginal Connections Keynote and Reception in Calgary, Alberta.

Over 200 business leaders from across Western Canada attended the gathering to celebrate the achievements of Fort McKay First Nation’s Chief Jim Boucher.

Chief Boucher gave a compelling account of the history, present day and future of Fort McKay First Nation, one of Canada’s most enterprising Aboriginal communities.  He was introduced by Dr. Eric Newell, Chancellor Emeritus and Special Advisor to the Provost, University of Alberta, and recipient of the CCAB Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Relations in 2012.
