The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce is committed to the Calls to Action from the TRC Report, particularly those related to business. As stated in Call to Action 92, we encourage the business community to "provide education for management and staff on the history of Aboriginal peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal Crown relations."

Please join John Lagimodiere with ACS Aboriginal Consulting Services for a day of information and learning through the SCC's programming, Indigenous Awareness Training Level 1: Myths & Misconceptions.  

This introductory session will cover the history of Saskatchewan's Indigenous & Metis peoples from pre-contact to today, including Treaties and the TRC Calls to Action. This session is a prerequisite to Indigenous Awareness Training Level 2: Implementing an Indigenous Strategy and Hiring/Retention for Business, taking place on October 8th, 2019.
