Making a Difference

Cameco and Orano have been partnering with northern Saskatchewan communities for decades.  Many of these partnerships were formalized, beginning in 2012 with the northern village of Pinehouse and, most recently in 2017 with the Lac La Ronge Indian Band.

Smiles. Confidence. Increased self-esteem. Those are just some of the results from Northern Dental Days in northwest Saskatchewan this fall. Saskatchewan Polytechnic and Cameco have a new two-year partnership to help bring dental care to La Loche and Clearwater River Dene Nation.

The fifth year of the Cameco Creative Kids Northern Cultural Fund (CCKNCF) started on January 28th, with a new round of funding available to Northern Saskatchewan communities looking to deliver cultural programming for children and youth ages 4 to 19. 

In June, 2017 the Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) and Cameco announced the signing of a collaboration agreement to formalize their long-standing relationship.

Cameco has long partnered with the communities in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. Home to the highest-grade uranium deposits known on the planet, all of Cameco’s Saskatchewan mining operations are located within this unique area. Many of our operations’ employees and contractors also call this region home.
