The Robertson Building

Did you know that one of Canada’s most powerful women was in our midst? In fact, she is on the fourth floor in the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation (NAAF, Suite 450) as you are reading this working to promote, support, and celebrate the achievement of Canada's Aboriginal Peoples. It is this very work that has garnered Roberta Jamieson recognition as one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women by the Women’s Executive Network (WXN).

Annually, WXN selects one hundred women who have shown leadership in their field, community service, and role model potential. The awards began as a way of recognizing the achievements of women in Canada’s leading companies but has since expanded it’s scope to recognize the work of women in businesses and organizations of all sizes.

Since 1985 NAAF has been raising funds to deliver programs that provide the tools necessary for Aboriginal peoples, especially youth to achieve their potential. The foundation has awarded a staggering $3.2 million in scholarships and bursaries to students. This year marks the 17th annual National Aboriginal Achievement Awards taking place on March 26 in Regina. If you can’t make it to the prairies to be there live, not to worry, you can catch it all on Global TV.
