Jan 23, 2020

The Battlefords Chamber of Commerce signed on to the Indigenous Engagement Charter in a special ceremony in Saskatoon Wednesday.

The aim of the charter is to increase business relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

Battlefords Chamber’s Chief Operating Officer Linda Machniak said chamber members were pleased to participate in the ceremony.

When the local chamber signed on to the charter it committed to a three-year partnership that includes implementing an Indigenous engagement strategy.

“We know that Saskatchewan has many positive attributes to make us a great place to live, work and invest,” Machniak said of the charter’s mandate. “But one of the key challenges for us is to champion the opportunities to reach our full potential. One of those opportunities is to engage fully the Indigenous peoples in our economy.”
