- 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.

- 2. PURPOSE OF THE RFP

- The consultant will focus on identifying the needs and interests of newcomers, exploring cultural parallels, and match them with the Indigenous and Métis communities in Saskatoon. The primary objective is to develop comprehensive training materials, including detailed lesson plans, to educate newcomers on Indigenous and Métis history, culture, and ceremonial practices. These materials will feature interactive presentations, videos, graphics, photos, and hands-on experiences.
