Donna Cona Are Aboriginal

Much more than just our name is Aboriginal. Donna Cona are the largest Aboriginal-owned and -operated business and technology consulting service company in Canada. As a genuinely Aboriginal company, they have a real interest in creating a sustainable and diverse workforce made up of ambitious, professional and skilled men and women.

On a summer day in 1534, Jacques Cartier and Chief Donnacona met in a harbour at the mouth of what is now the St. Lawrence River. This meeting between the French explorer and the leader of the Iroquois people of Stadacona continues to shape the destiny of our country and its people.

Donna Cona company is also inspired by that historic encounter. They drew on the name of Donnacona when they founded their firm in 1996. More importantly, they aspire every day to live up to high qualities that embody the legacy of that great Aboriginal chief. Combined, these qualities set them apart from all other firms that offer business-management services and information-management technologies solutions in Canada.
