We have been an integral part of the City of Regina’s Indigenous Procurement Policy Advisory Committee which led to the City of Regina Indigenous Procurement Policy to be unanimously approved by council on February 8th, 2023!

We are continuing to work with the City of Regina on the committee, thank you to the City of Regina, PFN Group of Companies, Saulteax Business Developments, File Hills Qu’Apelle Developments, Cowesses First Nation, Makwa Innovations, New Horizon FNAI, Reconciliation Regina, Metis Nation Region III, Piapot First Nation, George Gordon Developments, and Sask. First Nations Natural Resource Centre of Excellence for all the great work towards reconciliation. 

Community Energy Planning for the communities of Piapot First Nation, Muscowpetung First Nation, The Key First Nation, Red earth Cree Nation, and Zagime Anishinabek First Nation are underway.
