Unlocking Saskatchewan’s true potential requires full inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in the economy. Bridging the Indigenous education gap and aligning their economic status with the broader population represents a $90 billion opportunity.
Unlocking the full potential of Saskatchewan’s economy hinges on a critical opportunity: the meaningful involvement of Indigenous Peoples. Closing the gap in Indigenous education and fostering economic equality is $90 billion opportunity for our province.
The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce launched the Indigenous Engagement Charter to help Saskatchewan businesses advance this opportunity. Tailored for Saskatchewan’s diverse business landscape, this Charter serves as a guiding roadmap, equipping our businesses with the necessary tools to foster authentic engagement and collaboration.
At its essence, the Charter embodies the fundamental role businesses play in the reconciliation journey. It’s a commitment to honor, respect, and actively contribute to the advancement of Indigenous economic prosperity and cultural revitalization. By embracing the principles outlined in this Charter, businesses can pave the way for a future rooted in inclusivity, economic empowerment, and collective success for all within Saskatchewan.
