The Government of Saskatchewan today welcomed a new partner to its Aboriginal Employment Development (AED) Partnership Agreement with the community of Nipawin. The Nipawin Branch of the Royal Bank of Canada is the 18th partner to sign the agreement.
"First Nations and Métis people are key to ensuring the Saskatchewan economy remains strong," First Nations and Métis Relations Minister June Draude said. "I applaud the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) for joining our partnership with the community of Nipawin to work toward achieving a representative workforce where First Nations and Métis people can succeed at every level."
The Royal Bank of Canada joins the 17 original partners: First Nations and Métis Relations, Service Canada, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, the North East School Division, Red Earth Cree Nation, Eastern Region II Métis Nation, Cumberland Regional College, Nipawin Métis Local #134, Town of Nipawin, Nipawin Chamber of Commerce, Shoal Lake Cree Nation, Cumberland House Cree Nation, Northern Village of Cumberland House, Cumberland House Local #42, SaveU IGA, Davis Rexall Drugs and Pineland Co-op.
At the time of the original signing in June 2006, the agreement represented the first time that a community of partners joined together to work toward achieving a representative workforce.
"RBC has a long history of working closely with Aboriginal communities and people to help build capacity, support education and access to employment," Royal Bank of Canada Regional vice-president for Saskatchewan North Darcy Martin said. "We believe that initiatives to enhance community capacity and build economic self-sufficiency are critical to Aboriginal empowerment and progress."
Nipawin branch manager Jesse Kitchen signed the partnership agreement on behalf of RBC. "We know the value of hiring locally and offering meaningful careers to people who want to stay and work in their community," Kitchen said. "It is important that our workforce reflects the communities we serve."
Through AED, partners work collaboratively to remove barriers that may prevent First Nations and Métis people from achieving representation at all occupational levels in proportion to their population numbers in the province.
"The Town of Nipawin is pleased to have the Royal Bank sign onto our Partnership Agreement," Nipawin Mayor Glen Day said. "We look forward to working with them and all our partners in promoting and fostering the principles of the Representative Workforce Strategy in our community."
There are 83 Aboriginal Employment Development partnership agreements. Partnerships have been signed with public and private sector employers, organized labour, government departments, First Nations and Métis organizations, post-secondary institutions, First Nations and Métis communities.
