The Mississaugas of the Credit Business Corporation (MCBC) exists to develop and manage a portfolio of for-profit enterprises for its sole shareholder, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN). The treaty lands of MCFN include almost all of Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe, an area containing approximately two-thirds of Ontario’s GDP and one-fifth of Canada’s GDP. With approximately 8 million people, this is the largest single population concentration in Canada. MCBC’s main purposes are to build long-term wealth generation and short-term income opportunities for MCFN, as well as to create career and employment opportunities for MCFN’s membership. In doing so, MCBC’s goals are to be reputable in all its business dealings, to enhance the profile of MCFN in the business community, and to represent with honour the history, culture and values of MCFN. MCBC is governed by a board of directors made up of five voting directors all independent of the shareholder and three non-voting directors representing MCFN’s elder, youth and elected council constituencies. The corporation, through the board, is responsible to its sole shareholder through its annual meeting of the shareholder.
