Program available to Métis businesses

SaskMétis Economic Development Corp. has signed an agreement with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada to deliver a grant contribution program to Métis businesses in Saskatchewan.  The Métis Assistance Program will be similar to the former business contribution program that had been delivered by Aboriginal Business Canada. The MAP program will provide funding for eligible business project costs. SaskMétis Economic Development Corporation was created in 1987 to finance the start-up, purchase and/or expansion of viable Métis-controlled small businesses in Saskatchewan. It has disbursed over 1,200 loans for $32 million for over 630 Métis-owned businesses in Saskatchewan.
