Feel supported and seen
A healthy economy is one where all residents thrive. We proudly serve Indigenous entrepreneurs, businesses, and communities in their pursuit of prosperity and economic wellbeing.
By creating and endorsing culturally respectful resources, programs, and initiatives, we build pathways to partnerships, amplify Indigenous voices, and provide access to invaluable tools and growth-focused funding.
Let’s make economic reconciliation a reality
Recognizing a history of economic and other injustices, and guided by TRC Call to Action #92, the Saskatoon Region is committed to including Indigenous peoples, businesses, and communities in all facets of economic activity. Indigenous ways of knowing and ways of living are an essential part of what makes our region’s economy diverse, resilient, and attractive.
