CULTIVATING INDIGENOUS PARTNERSHIPS
For more than 10 years, Paper Excellence has worked in partnership with the Meadow Lake Tribal Council through Mistik Management Limited. Our learnings from those long-term relationships have resulted in a real-life understanding of both the successes and challenges in fostering positive business partnerships together with Saskatchewan’s Indigenous Peoples.
Mistik Management Ltd., a forest management company formed in 1990, is dedicated to the sustainable use and stewardship of 1.9 million hectares of forest in northwestern Saskatchewan.
- Mistik’s workforce is over 70% Indigenous
- 168 vendors work with Mistik, with 67 grossing more than $50,000 annually
- Mistik works with Co-management Boards who liaise with communities about Mistik’s forest activities
- Mistik delivers 1.4 million m3 of fi bre to shareholder mills annually
- Respecting the legal and customary rights of Indigenous Peoples and other forest users
- Creating and maintaining collaborative relationships
- Maximizing face-to-face communication and information sharing
- Undertaking responsible forestry according to the best available scientifi c consensus
- Conducting ourselves with honesty, integrity, transparency, fairness and caring
At our Meadow Lake pulp mill we have partnered with Gabriel Dumont Institute (GDI) since 2017 to hire term apprentices who are of Indigenous status (Métis, First Nations or Inuit). This program benefi ts both Meadow Lake Mechanical Pulp Inc. (MLMP) and the apprentice. MLMP receives a wage subsidy and the apprentice receives hours of experience towards their apprenticeship program. In total, we have hired 13 term positions to date with plans to continue the program in 2021. Through the GDI Apprentice Programs we have supported: millwrights, heavy duty mechanics, and welders.
We have also utilized GDI the past three summers to hire summer students of Métis status. Since 2017, we have hired 10 Métis summer students.
