Rogers for Business to help support Métis-owned businesses


SURREY, B.C. – Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) and Rogers for Business announced this week they will provide wireless connectivity, services, and dedicated support to over 340 Métis businesses and communities in B.C.

The new partnership will provide Métis-owned businesses registered with MNBC’s business directory with “exclusive access to business solutions and services as well as a dedicated team that will offer support and advice on how Rogers for Business services can advance their operations. MNBC believes this collaboration will help increase economic opportunities for local Métis residents and businesses,” reads the press release.

“This partnership means Métis businesses, no matter where they are in the province, will have access to the largest wireless network in B.C. and a dedicated service team to help continue the growth and development of the Indigenous economy,” said MNBC Minister of Economic Development and Natural Resources, Louiss De Jaeger.

MNBC’s business directory brings together Métis businesses from across the province together in one directory and those registered benefit from increased exposure and exclusive opportunities. Métis-owned businesses must be registered with MNBC’s business directory to qualify for the Rogers partnership products.

“This partnership is a big step towards setting our Métis registered businesses up for success,” said Pixie Wells, president of the Fraser Valley Métis Association, in the release. “We hope to see this as the start of working towards a more robust organization-to-organization partnership.”
