Our Mission: Respecting our culture, traditions and beliefs, we are building economic opportunities, that are accessible, beneficial and inclusive. As the economic arm of the shíshálh Nation, we build, manage and promote business opportunities for our members, partners and stakeholders.
Tsain-Ko Development Corporation (“TKDC”) is the parent company of the shíshálh Nation’s economic development arm and is comprised of a number of corporations and limited partnerships involved in carrying out its four primary economic functions: Natural Resources, Commercial Properties, Capacity Building, and Business Support. The companies that TKDC manages include: Tsain-Ko Centre, Tsain-Ko Forestry, Tsain-Ko Blue Run of River, Tsain-Ko Run of River Access, Tsain-Ko Properties, Tsain-Ko Services, and the newly formed Tsain-Ko Housing Society.
Our business strategies are intended to sustain both renewable and non-renewable resources for present and future use. By considering how best to use the particular resource, its productivity is prolonged, and its relationship with the environment is protected.
The Tsain-Ko Land Development Corporation is the General Partner responsible for the development of the Tsain-Ko Centre Limited Partnership. We address all leasing inquiries, negotiate leases, provide continuous communications with the tenants, and manage all common area responsibilities including landscaping, maintenance and janitorial duties. Currently, we are in the construction stages for Phase 3 on the existing mall site.
As the economic development arm of the shíshálh Nation, Tsain-Ko Development Corporation can provide certain levels of mentoring and coaching support for Nation members looking to establish a new business, expand or acquire an existing business, implement a marketing plan, or seek different sources of funding.
Job creation is important to us. We periodically offer fantastic employment and contract opportunities in accounting, business management, bookkeeping, maintenance, janitorial, landscaping, forestry, engineering, silviculture, labourers, road builders, heavy equipment operators, fallers, tree planters, booming and blasting. The Tsain-Ko Group is currently exploring opportunities for growth and development in the shíshálh Nation through the development of business partnerships.
