See how the Osoyoos Indian Band is tapping into new economic opportunities spawned by the growing Okanagan tourism industry.

Host Simon Baker visits the Osoyoos Indian Band to examine how Chief Clarence Louie is creating new jobs and businesses for his people based on the growing tourism sector.

For too long, Indigenous communities across BC have been economically dis-advantaged but Chief Louie is committed to changing that. As a nationally recognized leader and advocate for Indigenous business, Chief Louie shows Simon how his Nation’s investments in their winery, resort, golf course and racetrack are creating jobs and long-term revenues for the generations to come.

Now, the Osoyoos Indian Band is tapping into the future, partnering with FortisBC to incorporate EV charging stations into their Band owned gas stations.
