An upcoming Aboriginal Business Connect Event (ABC) happening on March 31st, 2016 in Chilliwack, BC will highlight the formal launch of the new Stó:lo Business Association.

“This new Stó:lo Business Association will be modeled after other Aboriginal business associations and chambers, offering a host of membership benefits for Aboriginal businesses. It will become the voice of the Aboriginal business community,” says Louis De Jaeger, Chair of the Stó:lo Community Futures Business Networking and Public Relations Committee.
