On July 1, Golden Brick Road Publishing House celebrated Canada Day.

GBR is a publishing house comprised of voices turned into the written word. The authors come individually with many thoughts, stories, lessons and missions but stand as one with a uniting message to make change and help others.

  Picture this: A space where your business goals are heard, where you are surrounded with ambitious women amid a gorgeous, secluded setting that allows your creative juices to be explored.

For Golden Brick Road Publishing House, as a proudly Indigenous owned company, it’s about honouring the Indigenous arts through Indigenous authors, and celebrating their accomplishments.

As an organization, we at GBR believe that we have a responsibility to nurture and empower leaders for social change, because empowered leaders inspire communities. When we honour and celebrate indigenous authors, we want to empower communities to start conversations about the history of this land. Not only can we learn, but we can grow and move forward by using our voices and put pen to paper. We encourage you, the reader, to continue the conversation of what it means to honour and celebrate Indigenous culture.
