Nishin Meawasige is Anishnaabe from Serpent River Anishinabek and a business owner on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. 

Drawing on leadership experience in First Nation community governance, administration, and socio-economic development, Nishin believes in the potential of First Nations, municipalities, associations, and businesses in working together to harness our collective strengths to grow innovative and collaborative economies. 

Co-founder and partner of Manitoulin Brewing Company, he intimately understands the triumphs and challenges of operating a small business in Northern Ontario within the realms of agriculture, tourism, and the craft beer industry. "Our business and marketing philosophy has always been about more than just making quality craft beer. Fundamentally, we recognize the value and distinctiveness in promoting all things Manitoulin, whether it be places, things or culture. We're all about real stories and creating lasting experiences." 

Earning his Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Guelph, Nishin believes distinctiveness in business is largely driven by its adaptability. Leveraging our ability to adapt and innovate builds lasting competitive advantage to succeed into the future.
