As more communities seek ways to become more sustainable, they might look for inspiration at a small B.C. First Nations band moving towards self-sufficiency, thanks in part to an SFU Beedie School of Business MBA graduate.
Zain Nayani is the CEO of economic and business development for the Kanaka Bar Indian Band located near Lytton, northeast of Vancouver. The band has about 200 members, with 60 or so living onsite year-round.
“We are trying to prepare the community for the effects of climate change and put in place measures to succeed and achieve self-sufficiency,” says Nayani, who is originally from Pakistan.
