Bio
Mr. Saulnier graduated from NAIT in Edmonton, AB in 1994 as a Journeyman Welder. In 2001, he started an industrial construction company focusing on capital projects in the mining, forestry and oil sectors. In 2008, with the realization of pending labor shortages facing Canada, Jamie set out to build a training and development program that would give Aboriginal people the tools required to enter the Canadian workforce. What followed was the creation of Running Deer Resources; an Aboriginally-owned firm that builds Customized Engagement Strategies to maximize opportunities for Indigenous people and Industry, and Working Warriors; a human resource database that produces a national skills inventory of the indigenous workforce and assets related to economic development. The success of this initiative has landed Jamie on the pages of the Globe and Mail, Winnipeg Free Press, CBC Radio and several trade magazines. He has also participated in several round table discussions with Industry, Government and Aboriginal groups regarding labor shortages in Canada.
