We also bring you an update from the Canadian Council for Aborigi- nal Business, in an interview with JP Gladeau.2016 was a big one in politics - and with changes in our backyard and with our neighbours to the south we will look to 2017 to see what the future holds for the country’s businesses as they move into a new year.This edition also marks our 5th anniversary of publishing CIO! So a toast to the past, and let’s move on to a bright new year: thanks for your interest and email me if you would like to share your business story! sara.kopamees@industryme- dia.caSara Kopamees Editor in Chief
