The Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporation is taking applications from First Nations and Metis Communities and organizations interested in investing in the province’s natural resources and value added agriculture sectors.  They will offer up to 75 million dollars in loan guarantees to eligible applicants which will support Indigenous equity ownership of major projects in mining, energy, oil and gas, forestry and value added agriculture.

Trade Minister Jeremy Harrison explains Saskatchewan’s Indigenous led companies employ thousands of people, generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and benefit Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities across the province.  He adds the SIIFC will build on this and support increased Indigenous participation in some of Saskatchewan’s key economic sectors.

More information and applications can be found on their new website www.siifc.ca
