- Mutually beneficial relationship with Indigenous communities based on the values of Truth and Reconciliation.
- Multi-sector partnerships with the business community and community at large that help newcomers achieve their potential.
- Our mission is to assist newcomers to Canada to become participating members of an inclusive and diverse community and country, and our vision that Saskatoon is a diverse and inclusive community where newcomers fully participate in its economic, social, intellectual, and cultural life. SODS values empowerment, engagement, inclusion, respect, equity, and a holistic approach to its service delivery.
