The proportion of Canadian businesses owned by Indigenous women has seen steady growth, more than doubling from 2015 to 2019. 💲 Closing the gaps in opportunities for Indigenous communities across Canada would increase GDP by $27.7 billion annually, a boost of about 1.5% to the Canadian economy. Our latest study, conducted in partnership with the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC) and the Future Skills Centre - Centre des Compétences futures, sheds light on the significant barriers hindering these #entrepreneurs. From discrimination to intergenerational trauma, these women navigate complex hurdles while striving to build sustainable livelihoods in #tourism. Spanning Labrador, northern Newfoundland, northern Quebec, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and the Yukon, this study highlights the resilience and innovative spirit of First Nations, Inuit and Métis #women. By integrating Indigenous worldviews with Western business models, we aim to recommend pathways to sustainable livelihoods and economic self-sufficiency. Real change starts with understanding these challenges and co-creating solutions. 📖 Explore our comprehensive report to learn how we can support these inspiring entrepreneurs: https://bit.ly/di_itac. . . . #IndigenousEntrepreneur #IndigenousTourism #WomenInBusiness #skills ✍️Authors: Yvette Rasmussen, Dr. Sonya Graci, Dr. Wendy Cukier, Genevieve Huneault & 🖋️Contributors: Christopher Zou, PhD, Betina Borova, Erin Grosjean, Juan Marsiaj, Ph.D. and Magdalena Sabat
