The Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC) and Tolko Industries Ltd. announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), establishing a Lumber for Nations Program.
The Lumber for Nations Program aims to support building projects in the Indigenous communities represented by MLTC. It provides both purchasing opportunities and product donations to help community-supported projects come to life. The MoU was signed for an initial period of five years and may be renewed by mutual agreement between the parties.

“MLTC is pleased to collaborate with Tolko in providing additional direct benefits of finished wood products, from our lumber and OSB mills, for use by MLTC’s First Nation communities,” says Tribal Chief Jeremy Norman. “I applaud the leadership of Tolko in taking this step with the Meadow Lake Tribal Council.”
This agreement builds on a previous MoU signed in October 2024 that established a framework to assist the parties in advancing matters of mutual interest in areas of forestry activities, business development, procurement, employment and training.
The Meadow Lake Tribal Council, officially established in 1996 after forming as the Meadow Lake District Chiefs Joint Venture in 1981, represents a unified alliance of nine First Nations in northwest Saskatchewan, Canada.
Tolko Industries Ltd. is a world-class value-added forest products manufacturer headquartered in Western Canada, offering a wide and growing range of forest products to customers around the world.
