standard operating procedureAs a new business, AgriTech North is seeking assistance with generating human resources materials to onboard, retain , and keep staff safe. We need a firm understanding of our obligations and commitments to our staff, and what materials we need to provide to ensure they are ready for work with us. We also need to know what workplace notice postings need to be made available, and begin drafting specific training documents, Standard Operating Procedures, and safety documents that must be stored in print on-site. We have prior ACCES Employment Human Resources contributions to build upon. As the organization grows, a permanent human resources position will eventually become available.
About the company
AgriTech North is an Indigenous- (Métis), disabled-, and LGBTQ-owned social enterprise corporation with a mission to grow nutritious food for Northern Ontario, focusing on Far North indigenous communities, that is of a consistently high quality, available year-round, and provided at a competitive price. The facility will be located in Dryden, Ontario, Canada to harness the waste heat, energy, and carbon from the Domtar Mill, establishing a Biohub with carbon negative operations. Dryden is ideal because of favorable transportation capabilities throughout the region and workforce access. The revenue from the food sold will ensure it is self-sustaining long-term as a research center. After proving the success of novel methods, AgriTech North will expand successful research projects throughout Canada to tackle a wider variety of food security issues throughout the country, made possible in part via several academic and indigenous partnerships.
