Canadian Council for Indigenous Business and the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations Program

Posted on Nov 24, 2024

In May, Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB, formerly Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business) announced their new name and refreshed branding at its 40th anniversary celebrations in Toronto.

Since then, they have also announced that the Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) program has become the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) program. They adopted the tagline integrating economic reconciliation through business to accompany this new name. CCIB believes these changes help better communicate the accountability aspect and priorities of the program.

At Strad, we are eager to embrace the new name and logo, which represent our dedication to the PAIR program at the Bronze Certification Level.
