On this week’s segment of Road to Recovery with Douglas Magazine, CHEK’s Jasmine Bala chats with Angela van den Hout, the Malahat Nation’s director of economic development.
Led by Chief George Harry, the Malahat Nation is making a name for itself with several large-scale projects and growing economy. Last summer’s grand opening of the Malahat Skywalk is just one of their partner ventures as their portfolio of businesses grows.
According to the nation’s website, their economic development department “focuses on creating a positive environment for business growth, investment, and sustainable development. Our goal is to generate sustainable long-term revenue streams for the nation and its members by partnering with businesses that share our values.”
