The BC ABSN is a collective of Aboriginal business service providers in British Columbia who enhance access to business information and resources. ABSN is an initiative of the Federal Government Aboriginal Business Development Strategy.
In 2002, the Community Economic Development Centre and Simon Fraser University completed a Gap Analysis on Aboriginal business needs and service providers. As a result of the study an ABSN coordinator was hired, REACH Sites were developed throughout the Province, a workbook was published on Aboriginal Business Development and a variety of other tools - intended as capacity development tools for Aboriginal Business Development Officers.
