CBU owes its very existence to the support of Cape Bretoners.

What is now CBU was born in 1951, when St. Francis Xavier University agreed to establish a "feeder college" in Sydney, Cape Breton Island; the community wanted its own institution, and it persevered to create the College of Cape Breton in 1974. Within a decade it evolved as University College of Cape Breton and after another ten years became Cape Breton University.

CBU has embraced internationalization which has reshaped both the university and the Island. Now CBU is the second largest university in Nova Scotia and a force for change in its community, the province, and the country.

Cape Breton University at 50 honours the University's golden anniversary (1974-2024) as a degree-granting institution and chronicles the people, events, developments, and innovations that got it there.

Indigenous Business In Canada /store/indigenous-business-in-canada.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=indigenous-business-in-canada Tue, 04 Jun 2024 11:53:52 +0000 /store/indigenous-business-in-canada.html/indigenous-business-in-canada Students who study business in university are not likely to hear about or discuss examples of Indigenous business successes from across the country. Rarely would one see references to Aboriginal communities, let alone examples of them growing multi-million dollar businesses and partnering to lead innovative economic development projects that positively impact the national economy. Resources are scarce and inadequate, an oversight that is to our detriment.

Somewhere between a textbook and a book of collected essays, this collection of articles is an effort to build on and share the research of Aboriginal practitioners and scholars working in their respective fields. Where possible we share not only concepts, but also the voices of Aboriginal leaders, officials, Elders and other members of Aboriginal communities.

Indigenous Business in Canada addresses contemporary concerns and issues in the doing of Indigenous business in Canada, reveals some of the challenges and diverse approaches to business in Aboriginal contexts from coast to coast to coast, and demonstrates the direct impact that history and policy, past and present, have on business and business education.
