Mississauga First Nation's strategic plan calls for the Community Economic Development Officer (CEDO) to support community and social development mandates by linking economic opportunities to MFN's social, cultural and environmental needs as well as the community's wants and desires. Achieving the community's goals for self-reliance include generating sustainable economic growth, community control and increasing the capacity of MFN band members, both on-reserve and off-reserve to meaningfully participate in the local and regional economy.
The CEDO's mandate requires diligent networking and relationship building while also addressing needs for program funding that sustains department operations. Other activities they are involved with include connecting individuals with training and employment supports, business support for existing firms as well as start-ups, resource management supports and other related activities. The department also responds to inquiries of the First Nation's leadership and its membership to investigate and explore economically sustainable ventures. |
