Beyond the accolades, Marion hopes the recognition will inspire the next generation of Indigenous entrepreneurs. “My message to them is simple: stay the course, believe in yourself, and keep pushing forward. If we can do it, so can you.” DELIVERING EXCELLENCE IN CATERING AND JANITORIAL SERVICES Kica’s reputation in the mining and exploration industry is built on its ability to provide reliable, high-quality services in remote environments. “At the core of our success is our client-centered approach,” says Marion. “We don’t just provide meals and janitorial services—we create a home away from home for workers in some of the most challenging locations.” A key differentiator for Kica is its hands-on management style. “I regularly visit our sites, making sure we’re delivering on our promises. It keeps me connected with our team and ensures we maintain the high standards our clients expect.” The company also prioritizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients, working with local food suppliers to enhance meal quality while remaining costeffective. “We want every meal to be nutritious, delicious, and reflective of our culture,” says Marion. “And by sourcing locally, we support the Indigenous economy as well.” 62 APR 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
