To build on our understanding of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the changing economic environment, CCAB, the National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA), and the National Indigenous Economic Development Board (NIEDB) undertook a second phase of the COVID-19 Indigenous Business Survey in December 2020.

Phase II of the COVID-19 Indigenous Business Survey provides insight into the changing impacts to Indigenous businesses amidst second and third waves of the pandemic and ongoing public health strategies in Canada. The report makes comparisons to data collected from the first phase of the survey and provides analysis on access and engagement with government programming and supports. The report builds on our previous understanding of Indigenous businesses’ most pressing needs throughout the pandemic.
