The Government of Alberta is investing over $1.5M over the next three years into Trade Winds to Success, an Indigenous-led organization that trains Indigenous students in the skilled trades. The funding will support programming such as the Residential Construction Program, which is expected to enrol 156 participants over three years. “Indigenous-led non-profit organizations like Trade Winds to Success help ensure that Indigenous Peoples are included at every level of the economy – as owners, workers and partners,” said AB Minister of Indigenous Relations Rick Wilson. “This funding will help Indigenous students gain valuable training in the trades, and moves us forward as we build a stronger, more inclusive economy.”
