Making a Difference

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.

The Six Rivers Fund, a legacy trust developed and managed by northern community leaders with funding from Cameco and Orano, continues to deliver benefits across Saskatchewan’s northern administration district.

The northern Village of Pinehouse, located in the boreal forest on the western shore of Pinehouse Lake, is transforming its community into a thriving, self-sustaining example of the power of partnerships.

“Despite the tough economic times today, Cameco remains committed to our northern partners,” says Tim Gitzel, president and CEO. “We want to support the future success of today’s northern youth and education is key to long-term success.”

Cameco recently helped bring Michael Landsberg's #SickNotWeak mental health initiative to a number of Saskatchewan communities.
