Truro, NS, Sept. 7, 2012 – Ulnooweg Development Group Inc. is pleased to announce that Charlie Morris, owner of the Eskasoni Trading Post located in Eskasoni First Nation, Nova Scotia will be the recipient of the 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award. This most prestigious award recognizes and acknowledges not only the entrepreneurial spirit of the individual, but the overall contribution made to society, especially to the Aboriginal community.
This award is given to an entrepreneur who has been in business for over thirty years and has demonstrated commitment to their community through social and economic contributions as a business entrepreneur. Winners of this award are especially commendable. When they began their business ventures, entrepreneurship- especially among aboriginal people – was not valued and supported like it is today. Most often, they started their business based on a need for the community. Start up costs, economic lulls, and other factors had to be overcome without a great deal of assistance. These entrepreneurs are not only committed to their business, but have also built firm economic support for their families and communities.read more
