Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.

Through this 20-month project, Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated will help advance women’s representation in leadership and decision-making roles through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers within women’s representation in around Prince Albert, SK by establishing a partnership network, and inviting representatives from the community of Indigenous women, girls and two spirit people to share lived experiences and identify gaps to employment.

Stakeholders and partners from the labour market in Prince Albert, from the hospitality/restaurant, construction/roofing, automotive and service industries will be invited to participate in discussions to address these barriers to employment, review recommendations and develop new strategies for more inclusive hiring processes. The organization will develop HR policies and procedures and engage with change makers to adopt outcomes for policy change in their workplaces.

An external evaluator will monitor and assess the project’s impact and effectiveness throughout the lifecycle of the project.

Through this 24-month project, Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated will develop and put in place the Heartbeat Trauma Release Method Therapy (HTR) with Indigenous girls, two spirit and trans youth experiencing gender-based violence to strengthen the GBV sector. The organization will work with their partners in the community and address the need to provide supports and services to Indigenous youth in Northern Saskatchewan who are at risk of perpetuating generational cycles of trauma and who struggle in their communities experiencing bullying, physical, mental, emotional abuse, and sexual exploitation.

To do so, the project will include hiring and training of staff on the Heartbeat Trauma Release Method Therapy, recruitment of Indigenous participants, adapting the HTR method, offering one-on one counselling and group therapy through healing camps, collection of feedback and recommendations from participants and the external evaluator, the creation of a manual and hosting a gathering for all participants. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice throughout the lifecycle of the project.

Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated will share the findings with the GBV Knowledge Centre and host a large gathering and invite all participants in all four cohorts to share their experiences while also sharing information on the promising practices so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.
