Details

Ronald McDonald House Charities Saskatchewan (RMHC-SK) seeks to identify and verify Indigenous-owned and local businesses to enhance community engagement and partnership opportunities in alignment with its procurement policy. This project involves researching over 813 businesses to determine their ownership status, cross-referencing them against an existing stakeholder list, and identifying duplicates. The project will provide RMHC-SK with an organized and validated database, supporting its long-term vendor management strategies.

Deliverables

Students will deliver a verified and updated business database that accurately identifies Indigenous-owned and local businesses. A duplicate-free stakeholder list will be compiled using Excel/Google Sheets automation tools. Additionally, students will provide a research methodology report outlining sources used, data validation steps, and recommendations for ongoing database management.
