Meet the Founders
Camden Hussey
Co-founder and Director of Operations and Sales at Swákwel
Born and raised on Vancouver’s North Shore, Camden brings a strategic approach to driving growth and fostering collaboration with both Indigenous Nations and non-Indigenous business alike.
Javen Marchant
Owner and Director of Business Development at Swákwel
Born and raised in North Vancouver and a proud member of the Squamish Nation, Javen is dedicated to fostering economic growth and creating pathways for collaboration that drive lasting success for Indigenous communities.
Rooted in History. Built for the Future.
For generations, the Squamish Nation has carried stories of resilience, strength, and survival. The lands now known as SenÌ“áḵw are not just the site of one of the largest Indigenous-led developments in Canada. They are traditional village grounds, places of life, culture, and deep history.
​
Our ancestors endured displacement, discrimination, and forced removal from their lands. Despite this, our people persevered. Today, the revival of Squamish presence on these lands represents not only economic opportunity, but the restoration of sovereignty, dignity, and self-determination.
​
Swákwel Industrial Products exists as part of this resurgence.
Our name, Swákwel — meaning “Loon” in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Sníchim — represents resilience, clarity, and connection to the land and water. The loon is a symbol of strength, vision, and adaptability. These same principles guide how we operate in business and in community.
​
Swákwel was founded with a clear mission:
to strengthen Indigenous participation in the construction and development industries while delivering high-quality materials, reliable service, and long-term value to our partners and clients.
​
We believe economic empowerment is one of the most powerful tools for reconciliation and community growth. Every contract we secure and every partnership we build contributes to Indigenous reinvestment, employment, and opportunity.
​
Swákwel is more than a supplier.
We are a bridge between industry and Nations.
A partner in progress.
A symbol of what is possible.
