On Thursday, April 28, 2022, CCAB hosted the East Coast Business Forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What was CCAB’s first conference on the East Coast, was also the first in-person event since the pandemic. The event was executed as a hybrid model offering sponsors, members, corporate partners, and attendees from across the country an opportunity to take part virtually. Panels and sessions focused on expanding business ventures beyond Atlantic Canada, rebuilding Indigenous tourism, opportunities in the tech industry, and meeting the nation’s climate commitments. Attendees gathered to network, engage in discussions, and celebrate the 2022 Aboriginal Economic Development Corporation award recipient, Cree Regional Economic Enterprise Company (CREECO).
