Today was bittersweet as we said goodbye and good luck to Krissy Powless!

Krissy has been with us for the last 4 years as an Employment and Training Coach. During this time she has touched the lives of so many community members by helping them achieve their employment goals.

We know she will continue changing Indigenous lives as she embarks on a new journey as the Native Inmate Liaison Officer at Maplehurst Correctional Complex.

“I’ll miss my clients so much! Just remember it’s okay to not be okay if you’re struggling. Just keep moving forward”

We sure will miss her positivity around the office. On behalf of GREAT, we wish you all the best Krissy!

Meet Chelsea 👋🏼

Chelsea Doolittle and her wife, Brooke, own The Drinkin' Box Coffee Shop located on Chiefswood Road in Six Nations. The drive-thru coffee shop is well-known in the community, offering daily breakfast specials, refreshments, and fresh baked goods each morning.

Originally established in 1994 by her late father, she inherited The Drinkin' Box in 2012. Chelsea was no stranger to the commitment and long hours it took to be a successful #entrepreneur but was unprepared for the pandemic like many small business owners.

"When the pandemic hit, we felt it. No one was coming, the thought of closing crossed my mind, but Brooke and I discussed and decided to expand the business to lunch orders and taking Indian Cookie orders. We used Facebook to advertise, but we knew there was still more we could do."

She discovered GREAT's Self Employment Assistance Program (SEA) and immediately reached out for assistance with the application. The SEA Program offers financial support to eligible business owners who are looking to expand their business. She applied for the program and was successful! As a result, she was awarded a one-time $5,000 grant for capital assets 🎉

She appreciates the coaching support and financial assistance she received from GREAT. Especially during the onset of COVID, the funds that she received from the program helped her business stay afloat.

When asked what advice she has for aspiring entrepreneurs, Chelsea stated, "Ask questions, have a plan, or go to GREAT for direction. The SEA Program has helped me greatly. Owning your own business is a lot of work! But you will get out of your business what you put into it."

Chelsea is confident that with ongoing support from the Six Nations community, her family-grown drive-thru coffee shop will continue to grow, and she looks forward to what the future has in store for her small business!
