We work to realize the economic potential of Snuneymuxw First Nation, bringing forth our Snuneymuxw Snuw’uyulth, the teachings passed down from our Ancestors and elders, into the business realm.

We currently employ up to 55 staff and they work in other administration offices or on-site at places such as Saysutshun, the Mt. Benson Woodlot or Maffeo Sutton dock.
