The Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) brings its well-developed network of economic enterprises into new Aboriginal Employment Development (AED) partnerships with the governments of Saskatchewan and Canada and other partners today in Prince Albert.
Adding to the promise of the AED signings, PBCN is joined by Northlands College and Canada Safeway Ltd. Their shared goal is to increase First Nations and Métis participation in Saskatchewan's robust labour market. The initiative commits all partners to work together to reduce barriers and build welcoming workplaces.
"I look forward to collaborating with Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation on increasing the participation of its members in Saskatchewan's workforce and economy," First Nations and Métis Relations Minister June Draude said. "Education and training opportunities with Northlands College combined with employment opportunities presented by Canada Safeway will empower First Nations people to take advantage of potential employment opportunities."
"Northlands College is pleased to be a signatory to this partnership agreement which formalizes a relationship that has evolved over the years," Northlands College Chief Executive Officer Bill McLaughlin said. "Through the collaborative efforts of the partners, we will be able to enhance opportunities for First Nations in northeastern Saskatchewan."
Through Aboriginal Workforce Participation Initiative agreements with Canada Safeway Ltd. and the Province of Saskatchewan, and with the support of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, 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. Through workplace audits, existing AED employer and other partners identify jobs into the future that will need trained employees. Education institutions can then develop and offer programs to give First Nations and Métis people the skills they need to compete successfully for the open positions. All AED partners work to identify and address barriers to training, hiring and retaining First Nations and Métis people.
With this signing, there are now 96 Aboriginal Employment Development partnership agreements in place. Agreements have been signed with public and private sector employers, organized labour, government ministries, First Nations and Métis organizations, post-secondary institutions and First Nations and Métis communities.
