United Way of Saskatoon & Area Strength of Spirit Advisory Committee... The United Way of Saskatoon & Area has reached out to community leaders within the Aboriginal community and asked for their advice and guidance in helping the United Way build stronger partnerships with the Aboriginal community in Saskatoon. In January 2007, a group of approximately ten leaders came together with volunteer board members and staff from the United Way to begin a conversation about how we could work together. "The Strength of Spirit Advisory Committee has allowed the United Way of Saskatoon & Area to have an Aboriginal voice within all areas of the organization" - Cornelia Laliberte, Partnership Facilitator, Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools, Strength of Spirit Advisory Committee Chair, United Way Board Member.
