Special to the Herald

In the spirit of reconciliation, the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) has developed the Indigenous Action Plan.

The Indigenous Workforce Program is part of the action plan and officially launched on May 8, 2025. Additionally, the day marked the SRC’s celebration of another part of the action plan with the inaugural group of Indigenous scholars for the Kiskiyihta (Kiskee ih-taah) Indigenous Summer Student Program. The word Kiskiyihta is a Cree word that means to learn or to know, which represents the re-imagined Indigenous Summer Student Program.

The program aims to assist SRC with increasing Indigenous recruits into their organization and hiring them into secure employment. As such, the SRC is collaborating with Indigenous educational institutions and training entities to secure the retention and advancement of Indigenous employees that take part in the programs.
