British Columbia, Sugar Cane focuses on ethical management for responsible industry. “We take a holistic approach to a development in WLFN’s traditional territory, focusing first on stewardship,” says Dressler. “That’s a big part of it. But in addition to serving as stewards, we also look for opportunities for collaboration or business partnerships.” “The reality is that a solid economic foundation is necessary to make progress toward the goal of reconciliation. We’re trying to ensure that our community has a reasonable standard of living, that people are employed, and our businesses are generating revenue. That solid economic foundation allows WLFN members to continue to enjoy their spiritual practices and their culture,” says Dressler. “It’s that vision that drives our economic development efforts at WLFN.” For more information or to get in touch with Williams Lake First Nation, please visit www.wlfn.ca 11
