Founded over a decade ago by Kimberley Marion, Kica Contracting Ltd. has grown from a small catering operation into a leading provider of catering and janitorial services for mining and exploration camps in the Tahltan Nation’s traditional territory. Rooted in a commitment to Indigenous workforce development and community engagement, Kica has built a reputation for excellence while creating meaningful economic opportunities for the Tahltan Nation and other First Nations communities. Marion’s vision for Kica was rooted in addressing the underrepresentation of Indigenous people in the catering industry. “When I started Kica, I saw a real need to create economic opportunities for our Tahltan Nation and other First Nations communities,” she says. “Today, I’m proud to say that 75 per cent of our staff are Indigenous, many from our own Nation.” GROWTH AND EXPANSION: A BUSINESS BUILT ON COMMUNITY STRENGTH What started as a modest operation in Dease Lake, BC, has evolved into a thriving company that manages six to eight camps at a time, serving up to 300 people in each camp. 59 APR 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
