Gatineau, Quebec — Congratulations to our client, Marc Peeler and Confidence Fishing Company, on receiving the NACCA Business of the Year Award. We are incredibly proud to see Marc and his team recognized on a national stage for their hard work, leadership, and dedication to Indigenous entrepreneurship.
Reflecting on the experience, Marc shared how meaningful it was to be surrounded by Indigenous professionals uplifting one another and working together toward a stronger future. He spoke about how inspiring it was to hear discussions about global trading opportunities for Indigenous business owners and to see NACCA continuing to create supportive spaces for Indigenous entrepreneurs across Canada.
Marc also expressed his gratitude to NEDC for the nomination and thanked Jeraldine Marshall, Director of Finance, Archie Little, Board Chair, and the entire NEDC team for making the experience so memorable and for their continued support.
“When I heard my name being called, it really hit me that my team and I have created a business that is being recognized on a national stage — and the sky’s the limit!”
Congratulations again to Marc and the entire Confidence Fishing Company team on this incredible achievement.
