The Tsleil-Waututh Economic Development
Department (TWN EcDev) is the business and economic development arm of the
Tsleil-Waututh First Nation of North Vancouver, British Columbia.
The TWN EcDev teams includes five team members, including Leonard
George, Director of TWN EcDev and former Chief of the Tsleil-Waututh
Nation.
The TWN EcDev was established in 2002, but
was the child of Takaya Developments Ltd., established in 1994. With the success of Takaya Developments and other
Tsleil-Waututh Nation business units, The Nation recognized the need for a
formal economic development department.

the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, a body representative of the administrative
units of the Nation, and reports directly to Chief and Council for the
Tsleil-Waututh Nation.
