Over the past 27 years, over 24,000 people have attended this unique event.
While many of our delegates travel from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northern Ontario, Alberta and BC, Indigenous leaders and entrepreneurs from as far away as Nunavut, Northwest Territories and the U.S.A. also participate. Our delegates include: Indigenous Business Owners and Operators; Indigenous Youth; Community Leaders; Economic Development Officers; Investors and Financial Institutions; Government and Corporate Representatives; Business and Community Service Providers; those interested in doing business with the Indigenous community.
The Vision Quest Conference relies on the generosity of volunteers each year. As a non-profit, charitable organization, we are grateful for the donation of time, talent and energy contributed by our volunteers. Vision Quest would not happen without volunteers!
