Our firm has been involved with the Canadian Blockchain Consortium since mid-2019. We have sponsored conferences, webinars and we have hosted after-work wine and cheese functions in downtown Calgary. Koleya and the whole team at the Consortium has added an enormous amount of value to my business law practice and has elevated Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP. profile on a national level. I have been involved in the Canadian and international cryptocurrency industry since 2013 but I lacked a local presence. Through my involvement with the Consortium, I have met and been retained by numerous Alberta based clients in the cryptocurrency space. My involvement with the Consortium has led to some very lucrative files. Koleya and Dave have been amazing, our firm is absolutely planning to continue to support the Consortium for years to come.

Bitvo became and early corporate member of the CBC and the team here couldn’t be happier with the decision to do so. In addition to thoroughly enjoying the events that the CBC hosts (both in person and virtually), we also feel that we’ve benefited from the community that the CBC brings together in terms of introductions to new revenue streams as well as important learnings from true leaders in the space. What the CBC is doing in terms of educating the masses is so important. They deal in topics that aren’t often easy to understand and sometimes difficult to find accurate, trustworthy information on. The CBC team and speakers that they bring together are able to break down complex topics and have earned a position within the country as a go-to for information that can be trusted and relied upon. In our mind, the CBC is a vital component of the blockchain ecosystem in Canada.

In 2019 when DV Chain became members of the Canadian Blockchain Consortium we could have never imagined that the organization would grow as quickly as it had. The belief from Koleya and her team was that the best way for Canada to make an impact on the crypto industry is by working together through education and community. The mission was to align the Canadian crypto ecosystem and it seems that the Canadian Blockchain Consortium has managed to do that in a very short span of time. We truly believe that this initiative brings the right infrastructure for education and growth for the blockchain ecosystem for all Canadians.

EIA has been part of the Canadian Block Chain Consortium since its inception and have experienced its growth from the Alberta Block Chain Consortium. From the beginning the view has been to bring all parts of the eco-system together in order to educate and grow the technology. EIAs belief in technology is that we have to be part of the solution and not be the ones being disrupted, we want to be part of the industry disruption. By being part of the organization we have been introduced to leading edge technology providers, been able to educate ourselves on what’s happening in the industry and found use cases applicable to aviation/airports. Although not a technology company, EIA is a technology adopter and user. We need to be connected to the industry and this is the best way to stay connected and meet the right companies doing incredible work in this sector. The team at the CBC work incredibly hard to move the CBC forward, and to bring the eco-system together.
