We are excited to announce a landmark partnership with the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) to help Saskatoon’s small and medium size businesses take advantage of the university’s “4 Seasons of Reconciliation” program.
For generations, Indigenous people on the Prairies were deliberately excluded from participating in our community and economy. First Nations and Metis people were suppressed, abused and ignored in the name of “progress” while experiencing unimaginable harm to their families and communities.
The Chamber is showing support for the non-property tax revenue instruments presented in the City’s report going before the Governance and Priorities Committee today. We urge Council to continue to explore all revenue options to optimize the economic benefits of the District at the lowest possible cost to Saskatoon businesses and homeowners.
The Chamber has proposed a Small Business Rebate Program designed after BCs newly announced rebate, aimed to support small businesses in recovering expenses incurred after experiencing property damage due to crime and vandalism, and to recoup expenses after taking measures to prevent vandalism.
