South Island Indigenous Business Directory

We are excited to announce the launch of a directory of self-identified Indigenous businesses in the South Vancouver Island region.

Launched just last week, the directory is a comprehensive listing of Indigenous businesses flourishing in the southern region of Vancouver Island. This initiative is a result of a collaborative endeavour between Animikii, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA), South Island Prosperity Partnership, the City of Victoria, The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce, and the Capital Regional District.The website showcases a large variety of Indigenous professionals and businesses in the area where our head office is located. 

If you live in and around Victoria, BC, check out the site to find businesses you can support today!
