Haida Gwaii’s Best of the Aboriginal Best winners!

On 25 February budding entrepreneurs Erica Ryan-Gagne and Yvette Adams went down to Vancouver to compete in the BEST of the BEST competition against 13 other winners from around the province.

 

Having been through the free Aboriginal BEST (Business & Entrepreneurial Skills Training) programs run by Haida Gwaii Community Futures, they had to present their final business plan to a panel of judges from the Canadian Centre for Aboriginal Entrepreneurship, MARR, Braun Allison Group and the 2011 winner. 

 

We are so proud to say that Erica won first place, winning a $750 cash prize towards her business Eri-cut and nailed in Skidegate (250-637-1777), and Yvette Adams came third!  You can check out her jewellery website at www.haidagwaiiartshop.com.  Congratulations Erica & Yvette!
