Economic Development is not new to Mistawasis First Nation. It has always been based on the need to provide for the community, but also driven by a better quality of living. What culturally and historically started as being keepers of the land, grew to a trading industry, and has evolved into modern day business. It was with this mindset that Mistawasis First Nation started their journey to become a business ready entity that would provide financial stability as well as work opportunities for the Nation.
Since 2013, the relationship has grown strongly between Chief & Council and Misty Ventures – the leadership is very supportive of the Economic Development opportunities that come before Misty Ventures. With strong supportive leadership, that is the only way economic development can operate in a first nation.
