STC HOME FIRES FOUNDATION QUALITY OF LIFE STRATEGY A home fire represents a safe and caring place where we enjoy time together, rejuvenating in comfort and peace. A safe and caring retreat is foundational in each individual s success. Operating under the values of FIRE--fairness, integrity, respect and excellence, we create opportunities for First Nations, primarily youth, through mutually beneficial partnerships with community organizations and industry. Through our programs and services, these opportunities create a foundation for success. These are indeed challenging times, specially for those who face social, health and economic inequity. One critical issue facing our community is non-funded health services. Gaps in vital services create substantial disparities between First Nations and Saskatchewan citizens. FIRE, which represents fairness, integrity, respect and excellence, are the values that guide the creation of opportunities for First Nations, focusing primarily on youth. Building opportunity is dependent on the ability to work in collaboration with the seven STC communities, the City of Saskatoon, multiple school divisions, community organizations, private industry and governments to establish a multitude of programs and services that align with our four key strategic areas of education, health, safety, and economics. Improving outcomes in health, safety, education and economics is at the heart of the Foundation. Like mortar that binds, the STC Home Fires Foundation bonds existing strengths with opportunities, solidifying the foundation for success. For more information on STC programs and services please visit www.sktc.sk.ca Your generous support will assist the most vulnerable; these families and individuals challenged by social and economic circumstances beyond their control. The Creator made us all under one sun. Each person deserves a helping hand to overcome obstacles to live a good quality life. Together we can raise our community to reach its full potential and realize our vision for the future. Our Members In addition to servicing First Nations living in Saskatoon, STC represents approximately 12,000 members of seven First Nations communities located within 250 km of Saskatoon.
