Development corps call for YK Indigenous procurement policy – Cabin Radio
August 27, 2025
Four NWT Indigenous development corporations are calling on the City of Yellowknife to develop an Indigenous procurement policy.
Representatives of Det’on Cho, Metcor, the Tłı̨chǫ Investment Corporation and Denesoline – the business arms for the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, North Slave Métis Alliance, Tłı̨chǫ Government and Łútsël K’é Dene First Nation, respectively – made the request during a presentation to councillors on Monday afternoon.
They said procurement opportunities are vital as the territory’s diamond mines near the end of production and the development corporations are looking to diversify.
