ABOUT SNGRDC’S COMMUNITY COLLABORATOR PROGRAM
Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation’s (SNGRDC) Community Collaborators program engages SNGRDC business partners to support local initiatives that directly impact the Six Nations community. These initiatives are an excellent opportunity to showcase SNGRDC partnerships to the Six Nations community in a meaningful and impactful manner. You can become involved in the program by participating in one of three tiers. If you are interested in becoming apart of the SNGRDC Community Collaborators program please email publicrelations@sndevcorp.ca.

Each year, SNGRDC hosts a free community BBQ at Chiefswood Park along with a fundraising raffle, prize bingo, live music, and more.
