The term "project sponsor" includes community groups, private sector companies, worker associations, not-for-profit organizations, the voluntary sector and other levels of government.

Sto:lo Nation Human Resources Development (SNHRD)  works with project sponsors at the community level to strengthen the social and economic well being of our local area. Our program sponsors are the key to the success of our programs.  They make it possible for First Nations clients  to participate fully in the workplace and the local labour market and help contribute to the economic & social health of our communities.

An effective working relationship between SNHRD and project sponsors is essential to the successful delivery of our programs in responding to the needs of individuals and our communities. To make sure that these programs are being delivered as intended our project management team, and you as a project sponsor, must clearly understand our respective roles and responsibilities. Please CLICK HERE to learn more about the Roles & Responsibilities for Project Management.  We hope potential and current project sponsors will find the information helpful in understanding what is expected to prevent misunderstandings when operating projects.

Auditing of projects is an essential and important part of our work.  We are responsible to ensure that individual clients are participating in the program as set out in the contract.  We are also required to ensure all expenditures are relevant and reflect the contract agreement.

All projects have a definite life-cycle from the application through the active period and completion stage. Here is an overview of what you can expect from us and what we will expect from you at the key stages of the project life-cycle.
