by Whitecap. We want to showcase
Whitecap as a place to set up and own
a business,” Balkwill notes. This means
attracting more workers as well to the
area. “We have more jobs than work-
ing age people in the community right
now so we attract workers from other
communities. But we also want to cre-
ate more diverse opportunities for the
WDFN people.”
Dakota Dunes operators put a
heavy emphasis on training and con-
tinuous learning, and the Whitecap
team intends to continue this tradition
of preparation with all of WDFN’s new
ventures. “If you look at the opportu-
nities that are here, we’ve set the bar
fairly high when it comes to products
and services—for example our casino
and golf course. We have the incentive
to continue to build top quality ser-
vices,” Chief Bear explains. “The hotel
will operate to the same standards.”
“
We want to tell people that
Whitecap is a good place to do busi-
ness because the foundation we set
up makes it a great place for the long
term—we’re partners that will be
around for many years. Whitecap is
open for business,” he concludes. With
a location just 20 minutes from down-
town Saskatoon, Whitecap Develop-
ment Corporation and the WDFN has
much to offer industry, and the com-
munities it serves.
