First Nation and Métis employment development took centre stage this afternoon at North Battleford's Sakewew High School.
A large and diverse group of community, business, First Nation and government officials met to sign a formal commitment to the economic prosperity of Aboriginal people.
"This chance to gather at Sakewew High School in the name of increased Aboriginal employment is encouraging," First Nations and Métis Relations Minister Bill Hutchinson said. "Partnerships with First Nations, schools, the community and employers are precisely how we will meet Saskatchewan's growing labour demands."
Sakewew High School signed the agreement with the province and a range of community partners. The school is governed under a joint partnership between the public and separate school systems and the Battlefords Tribal Council.
"Battlefords First Nations Joint Board of Education is pleased to sign the agreement," Chairman Bud Bohun said. "We appreciate the support of the Ministry of First Nations and Métis Relations and its continued work to promote strong community relations."
Battlefords Tribal Council also signed on to the agreement as a key partner.
"With the economic growth happening in the Battlefords, it is essential that a structured network is in place to address issues around training, employment and economic opportunities," Battlefords Tribal Council Chief Executive Officer John Wallace said. "This partnership agreement is a great opportunity to see this come to fruition."
North Battleford's newly appointed Mayor Ian Hamilton, voiced enthusiasm for renewing the city's commitment to a representative workforce.
"The City of North Battleford continues to work toward reducing and eliminating barriers in the workplace," Hamilton said. "We are pleased to partner with other community organizations who are dedicated to the same goals."
The City of North Battleford was Saskatchewan's first urban municipality to sign an Aboriginal Employment Development Partnership with the province in 2005.
The federal Department of Indian and Northern Affairs also signed this agreement. Through Aboriginal Workforce Participation Initiative agreements, the Government of Canada is working to promote employment partnerships as part of its commitment to helping Aboriginal people build strong, healthy and self-reliant communities.
All partners to this agreement will work to identify and address barriers to training, hiring and retaining First Nations and Métis people.
Saskatchewan's Aboriginal Employment Development initiative is focused on bringing the largely untapped First Nations and Métis workforce into the province's growing economy.
