The Meadow Lake Tribal Council brings an extensive and experienced network of First Nations representatives to a new Aboriginal Employment Development (AED) partnership signed today with the governments of Saskatchewan and Canada in Meadow Lake.
The goal of the partnership is to increase First Nations participation in Saskatchewan's growing economy and to address labour market shortages that the province faces now and in the future. Meadow Lake Tribal Council is comprised of nine First Nations communities representing more than 11,000 people.
"Meadow Lake Tribal Council's nine member First Nations offer a huge talent pool to the province," First Nations and Métis Relations Minister Bill Hutchinson said. "The Tribal Council is also an innovative and noteworthy employer in its own right."
"This partnership is a positive step forward for the First Nations that make up the council," Meadow Lake Tribal Council Chief Helen Ben said. "It will ensure that our governments are working together so that our community members can contribute to and share in the prosperity of Saskatchewan's economy."
The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada also joined forces with the Meadow Lake Tribal Council and the provincial government to sign this agreement at the Meadow Lake Tribal Council offices on Flying Dust First Nation.
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.
Saskatchewan's Aboriginal Employment Development initiative is focused on bringing the largely untapped First Nations and Métis workforce into Saskatchewan's growing economy. By performing workplace audits, existing AED employers and partners identify jobs that need trained employees. Educational partners then focus their training to meet these needs and give First Nations and Métis people the skills they need to compete successfully for employment. All AED partners work to identify and address barriers to training, hiring and retaining First Nations and Métis people.
Agreements have been signed with public and private sector employers and associations; organized labour; First Nations and Métis organizations; post-secondary institutions; and First Nations and Métis communities. Visit www.fnmr.gov.sk.ca/aedp/ to learn more.
