This Small Business Week, NACCA is proud to honour the stories that reflect the heart and spirit of Indigenous entrepreneurship. Today, we’re excited to feature Ron Bonnycastle, the owner of Castle Rock Enterprises and recipient of the Community-Owned Business Award. His business, supported by Däna Näye Ventures, exemplifies the strength and dedication that Indigenous entrepreneurs bring to their communities in the Yukon.
Ron’s journey is one of many that highlight the resilience, innovation, and leadership driving Indigenous businesses across Canada. These businesses are not only building strong economies but are also creating meaningful impact by weaving cultural values into their practices and uplifting their communities.
Throughout the week, we’ll continue sharing more powerful success stories—each one a testament to the passion and persistence that define Indigenous entrepreneurship. These stories reflect the importance of honouring tradition while embracing innovation, showcasing what’s possible when Indigenous entrepreneurs thrive.
