Gitxaala Enterprises, a local Indigenous Nation’s economic development arm. He also currently serves as the Chairperson of Tourism Prince Rupert and the Vice Chair of the Northern BC Tourism Association. From 2013 – 2024, Blair led the Gitmaxmak’ay Nisga’a,
another Prince Rupert-based Indigenous community-owned corporation where he was recognized by BC Business as one of the province’s Top 30 Under 30 in 2018.<br>
