“Teaching them (youth) about business, being an example of what can be possible, showing them that there are possibilities,” said Salish Soils, 2025 Indigenous Business Award recipient.
“I think that the work that we’re all trying to do here today is very important in showing our young people that they can be this too.”
BC Achievement was established in 2003 as an independent foundation that spotlights the province’s artists, entrepreneurs, youth, community leaders, and volunteers.
