Indigenous owned and operated. We operate on Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 territories, Traditonal and Ancestral lands of the Woodlands Cree, Métis, Plains Cree, Dene and Saulteaux. Boreal Heartland began in 2017 and is based in Air Ronge, SK , Canada. It is an initiative of Keewatin Community Development Association, a longstanding, northern, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting career, education, business, and economic development in the northern Saskatchewan region.
Boreal Heartland was started with 3 ambitious goals:
- Provide sustainable income opportunities in Northern Saskatchewan, a region with only 38% employment (small towns, few industries), that supports the “Northern lifestyle” (outdoorsy, land stewardship, flexible).
- Showcase the abundance and intrinsic value of boreal forest flora on a global scale. Our forest is so much more than “moose pasture” or a place for logging.
- Ensure all aspects of the business promote environmental and social sustainability.
