Four regions of the Metis Nation – Saskatchewan — including the three MN-S regions in the province’s north — say they have signed an agreement with Cameco and Areva.

The memorandum of understanding is said to be the first of its kind between Cameco, Areva and the MN-S northern regions.

Eastern Region I is also a signatory to the deal.

Metis leaders say the agreement was signed with the mandate to assist their regions in becoming more involved in economic development opportunities, developing the young Metis workforce and supporting Metis community initiatives.

The MOU between the mining companies and the four MN-S Regions establishes a working group that will focus on five key areas — workforce development, business development, community engagement, community investment, and regulatory and government relations.
