Calling it the first of its kind in southern Saskatchewan, BHP Billiton and three Saskatchewan First Nations have signed an opportunities agreement for the Jansen potash project.
Under the agreement signed last month, mutually beneficial opportunities in employment, business and community development will be created for the Kawacatoose, Day Star and Muskowekwan First Nations.
“First Nations are forging new relationships with industry in order to reinvest in our community,” said Chief Darin Poorman of Kawacatoose First Nation.
