The Ulnooweg Difference

We are all one team working together towards a vision of self-sustaining, healthy communities.

Ulnooweg operates as an extension of the communities, uniquely stewarding to their needs and supporting their business leaders and entrepreneurs.

When you reach out to Ulnooweg, our team becomes your team. We are committed to helping Indigenous businesses succeed!

Over more than three decades, Ulnooweg has been instrumental in opening up new opportunities for Atlantic Indigenous businesses and community enterprises. For many communities, this assistance has been transformative, as evidenced by their progress and dynamism today.

From a modest beginning, Ulnooweg presently has 52 staff.
