Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - PrairiesCan
Saskatchewan has a strong, growing economy with global leadership in agriculture and food processing, digital innovation, advanced manufacturing, and resource development. With its abundance of natural resources, vibrant research and innovation ecosystems, and top-notch education and training institutions, Saskatchewan has ample opportunities to continue that economic growth in a way that leaves no one behind.
Today, the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan, announced a federal investment of over $7,600,000 to help five Saskatchewan businesses access the resources needed to scale-up and bring innovative products and services to new markets. As well, this funding will support the training of highly skilled workers through the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technology's Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Preparation Program and Indigenous Practical Nursing Program.
These investments will help ensure that Saskatchewan businesses thrive as strong contributors to the Prairie economy, and that the province achieves its potential with a highly skilled and trained workforce.
