Steel River Group Announces Partnership with Pakuashipi Innu Nation

On August 17, 2021, Steel River Group announced a partnership with Pakuashipi Innu Nation focused on enhancing the diversification of the local economy and creating new long-term opportunities for the community.

The collaboration was built around a shared vision of sustainable economic development rooted in community priorities, local participation, and future prosperity.

Through the partnership, Steel River Group was engaged to help identify and advance opportunities that could strengthen economic resilience while reducing reliance on a limited number of sectors or revenue sources.

Key objectives of the initiative included:

• Supporting local economic diversification

• Identifying new business and investment opportunities

• Building community capacity for growth

• Advancing long-term employment pathways

• Creating sustainable own-source revenue opportunities

Steel River Group’s role reflected its broader approach to Nation partnership work, helping communities move from ideas and potential opportunities toward practical strategies and implementable outcomes.

The partnership also demonstrated Steel River Group’s growing national presence, supporting Indigenous communities across multiple regions of Canada with tailored economic development solutions.

This announcement marked another important milestone in 2021 as Steel River Group continued expanding partnerships that help communities build stronger, more self-sustaining local economies.
